The testing service, which administers the nationally developed College Level Ex amination Program, gives students a chance to challenge courses in the College of Arts and Sciences Students can receive up to 12 credits per ex am on lower division group requirements such as biology and economics, Rowe says Under the Credit By Examin ation program, developed by University instructors, students challenge a single class in Eng lish, geography, geology and psychology, Rowe says Students may also take waiver exams for their Writing 121, language and health requirements.

Amazon Dr. 342-3575 earn credit by taking the exams, but passing the test fulfills graduation requirements. Scores required to pass the test vary from exam to exam, but students need to score “at least the equivalent of passing in a regular class,” Rowe says. The testing service provides de scriptive handouts for each ex am to guide students on what to study, she adds. Rowe says she hasn't noticed an increase in use of the ser vice, despite the rising cost of tuition and financial aia cuts Half of the students using the service are “older-than-average students who had a specific academic goal in mind,” she says Rowe says she doesn’t un derstand why more students do not use the service. She says the service has “put up signs all over campus.” The information appears in the Gen eral Catalog and in the Faculty Advising Manual. “Every faculty adviser could tell students about it,” she says. The program “somehow seems to slip through the cracks and people just don’t become aware" of the testing alterna tive, Rowe says. “Most people who show up here come because of word of mouth," she says. ’'They’ve heard about it, but it hasn't caught their attention until they get into a bind.” Rowe says the service could handle a deluge of people “We might change our scheduling slightly, but we could sure accommodate them."
