What happens after I take the exam?

The proctor will collect all your exam materials and give them to the designated faculty member, Prof. Maryann Schiff.  After evaluating your exam, Prof. Schiff will contact you directly to tell you whether or not you have passed.  Although we will try to let you know promptly, we cannot guarantee results by a certain date.

Some things to note …

·        You may take a proficiency exam in a course only once.

·        If you pass the exam, you receive a grade of  P (pass) not a letter grade (A, B, or C).

·        You may not take a proficiency exam to gain credit for a course in which you were previously enrolled.
