Implementation of Credit by Examination Policy Changes

The University of Texas at Austin is revising its policy regarding credit by examination. The new policy goes into effect on the thirteenth class day of the fall 2006 semester. The change means that all students awarded credit for scores that the University receives on or after this day will have the credit indicated on their record by the symbol “CR.”

Current University policy will govern the awarding of credit by exam earned with or without a letter grade option (“CR,” “C,” “B” or “A”) prior to the effective date. A student seeking to earn credit by exam for scores submitted to the University on or before September 15, 2006 must request that the credit be placed on his or her official record within ten years of the test administration date.
