er on the exam. Students who do this will receive a “P” for their grade which does not affect their GPA.
Student athletes need to be aware that the NCAA will NOT accept credit earned by “testing out” for a cred-
it that is a core required class. Also, some colleges do NOT view test outs in a positive light unless the test
out is used for advancement and increased rigor in student schedules.
