Challenge Examinations in Academic Programs

Regularly enrolled students at ENMU-Roswell have the option of challenging a course in their degree plan for a grade by challenge examination without class attendance. A challenge examination may take the form of tests, projects, writing assignments, and other measures of course competency. A student who is already enrolled in a course will not be eligible to challenge the course if the semester is in progress. A student who has already taken a course, and the course has been rolled to academic history may not challenge that course. The course must be repeated.

Note: Due to program guidelines, students may not challenge courses in certain career-technical/health programs; (i.e. programs that require clocked attendance hours, clinical, practicums, etc.)

To arrange a challenge examination for credit, the student must obtain and complete the following:

1. The Challenge Examination for Credit Request form from Admissions and Records confirming that the student has a cumulative GPA of 2.5, and has not already taken or is not currently enrolled in the class;
2. Agreement of the course instructor or faculty member to administer the examination or send the examination to the Testing Center to be proctored by one of the staff in that area;
3. Signatures on the form, including (1) student, (2) registrar (3) faculty member and (4) assistant vice president of the educational area;
4. Proof of payment from the Business Office noted on the Request for Challenge Examination form. The fee to challenge a course is $70.00 and is nonrefundable.

Once the student has obtained the appropriate signatures on the form and paid the nonrefundable fee, the form must be returned to the Office of Admissions and Records. Once the form is processed, a copy will be sent to the faculty member who has approved the challenge request, who will then make the arrangements for the challenge examination with the student.

After taking the examination, if the student receives a grade of C or higher, the course will appear on the transcript with the grade that the student has earned and be counted in the student’s grade point average for that semester. If the student receives a grade lower than a C, no entry will be made on the transcript, and the student will have the option of registering for the course at the current tuition rate.

Challenge Examination for Advanced Placement

Regularly enrolled students at ENMU-Roswell are encouraged to take challenge examinations for advancement in foreign language courses. The student must arrange with the instructor to take the challenge examination prior to the regular semester, and the academic program stipulations apply.
