Credit by Proficiency Examination
In some departments you may be permitted to progress to more advanced work in a particular program if you can demonstrate college-level competency.
If you have qualifications from a previous education or job training you may be able to earn credit in certain courses by successfully passing an exam that will test your knowledge related to the learning outcomes of that course.
Marion Technical College (MTC) recognizes and offers two types of credit by proficiency examinations: a college administered Proficiency-for-Credit Exam (credit-by-exam) and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The following is a list of courses (by academic department) that MTC offers as credit-by-exam. These exams are generated and proctored by MTC faculty.
There is a limit of MTC credit hours that may be earned through exam, life experience, or any combination thereof. A credit-by-exam may be attempted only one time per course.
A $15 per credit hour, nonrefundable fee must be paid to the Business Office before a credit-by-exam is taken.
