  2. Students must be registered for credit and in good standing.

  3. An application, obtained from the appropriate department or service center office, must be completed in order to take by examination a course designated in the following Announcement of Courses. No more than two challenges for any one course are allowed.

  4. Students must obtain approval of the appropriate instructor, the department chairperson, and the supervising administrator.

  5. Students must arrange for completing the examination (which may take any appropriate form-written, oral, and/or demonstration) with the instructor after the application has been approved.

  6. There is no maximum number of units which may be taken on this basis.
