Challenge Examinations

A challenge examination is a specially designed examination in a subject area for those students who wish to challenge certain courses to which they have been exposed to at an acceptable level. A challenge examination will not be given for a failed/repeated course. The challenge examination is prepared and marked by two instructors appointed by the Department Chairperson in consultation with the Dean of the School.

No grade of less than a B will be accepted to grant the credits applied for, and no more than 10 credits shall be earned through challenge examination.

How to Apply

Applications for Challenge Examinations must be approved by the Academic Standards Committee. The procedure for requesting a challenge examination is as follows:

Check with the Department Chairperson to see if you are qualified to do the challenge examination.
Obtain a Challenge Examination form from the Registrar's Office.
Complete the form with all the signatures in the order they appear.
Return the completed form with all the required signatures to the Registrar's Office.
The Registrar will present the request to the Academic Standards Committee for consideration.
A letter of approval or denial will be sent to the student by the registrar of admissions and records, with copies to the chairperson of the student's department, chairperson of the department where the examination will be written, the dean of the student's school and the deputy vice-chancellor.
If approved, the student should proceed to pay the challenge examination fee which is two thirds of the tuition for the course. This money must be fully paid before the exam is administered.
The examination will be administered and the grade will be sent on the appropriate forms by the Department Chairperson to the Registrar's Office.

The Challenge Examination grade must be presented to the Academic Standards Committee for approval before it is entered onto the student's permanent record.
