Mathematics Credit by Examination

Students may qualify for placement into some mathematics courses on the basis of math placement assessments administered by Antioch College. Antioch College does not accept credit by examination in math, or placement test results, from other institutions. Credit for a lower-level course may only be awarded when the student completes an appropriate higher-level course with a passing grade. These credits count towards the maximum number of credits a student may transfer to Antioch College (for current limits on credit please see the “Transfer of Credit” policy in the current catalog). Students may request credit by examination for math courses only once during their time at Antioch College. Students who wish to use this opportunity to earn credits should speak to their academic advisors or the math faculty during orientation. In order to take advantage of this policy, students should obtain a copy of the Mathematics Credit by Examination Form from the Office of the Registrar. The form must be completed and returned to the Office of the Registrar by the third week of the study term following successful completion of the appropriate level course. This form will require the signature of one of the mathematics faculty and the appropriate academic advisor. For example, a student who places in MATH 151 (Precalculus) and passes the course would receive credit for the course immediately below it: MATH 150 (College Algebra).
