Students may request credit by examination to demonstrate skills
and knowledge in many courses offered by the College. The
examination may include a comprehensive written/oral exam, portfolio
review, lab projects, computer programs, timed writings or any
combination depending on the subject area. Credit by examination is
designed to grant credit at JCC and may or may not transfer to other
colleges or universities. Credit by examination forms are
available from the appropriate department chair’s office and on the
JCC web site. Students should discuss with the department
chairperson the feasibility of completing the examination. If
the application for credit by examination is approved, it is
assigned to a faculty member who contacts the student and provides
more information about the examination.

course is allowed. A maximum of 30 credits is allowed via
credit by examination.

of 2.0 or better must be earned. Before the credit is
posted to the transcript, payment of 50% of the current
