The credit hours for a repeated course do count for enrollment status purposes for the semester in which the student retakes the course. It is recommended that students check with Student Services in their Dean's Office before repeating a course.

For additional information please click here.

There are limits on the number of credits transferred that may be applied to the degree program and major selected. In general, 30 of the last 45 credits earned for the UVM degree must be taken at the University. Please consult the online catalogue for specific college/school policies.

The exam fee must be paid prior to taking the exam. A request for such an exam must be made in writing at least one month before the date of the exam, and it must be approved by the student's advisor, the chair of the department in which the course is given, and the dean, in that order. The student must not have audited, previously received a grade or mark, or have attempted a prior special exam in this course at UVM or at any other institution of higher education. Only specific university courses may be challenged using special exam. Readings and Research, Honors Research, etc., are specifically excluded. Special Topics may be challenged only if that course is offered during the semester in which the special exam is being requested. The student may not take a special exam in a course whose content is presupposed by courses already taken; or in a course for which transfer credit has already been received; or in a currently enrolled or previously taken course. In cases of uncertainty, the department chair shall decide whether it is appropriate for the student to take a special exam for credit in a particular course. Upon passing the special exam, as determined by the examiner and the chair of the department in which the course is given, the student receives credit, but not a grade, for the course.

Information about completing a credit by exam can be found here.

Access to the downloadable Credit by Examination form can be found here.

Faculty Senate policy states that all grades should be submitted within 72 hours of the final exam. Once your instructor submits your grade it will need to be rolled to academic history in order for you to view it. Grades roll to academic history daily when the system is backed up at 1:00AM. Students should therefore expect to see grades no later than 3-4 days after they have completed their final exam. Grades for all courses must be submitted by the Tuesday following the last day of exams.
