Depending on the course, a faculty member might decide a comprehensive exam is the best method to assess your knowledge. Prior Learning Assessment arranges for departmental exams, but, please keep in mind that the exams are issued only upon approval of the academic department. Other assessment methods may be more appropriate for some courses.
If a CLEP exam is available for the course you want to challenge, and Old à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã University accepts it for credit, the CLEP exam is the only option you may use. CLEP exams are not administered through the Office of Prior Learning Assessment, but rather theÌýCredentialing Center. No faculty approval is needed to take a CLEP exam. For more information on CLEP exams, contact the Credentialing Center at 757-683-6089, or e-mailÌýcredentialingcenter@odu.edu.
Evaluation of training is the least used method of Prior Learning. If a faculty member believes this would be the best assessment method, students should expect to submit proof of completion of training as well as your resume, a course syllabus, textbook and/or training materials.
