Academic Policies and Procedures Credit by Examination Credit may be earned through one or more of the following examination procedures. Total credit from proficiency examinations and the College Level Examination Program may not exceed 18 semester hours. There is no limit for Advanced Placement credit. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) For these examinations, which are administered by the College Entrance Examination Board, IIT will award credit under the following conditions: • The CLEP examination and the score achieved meet the standards of the IIT department that offers courses in the area of the examination. • The CLEP examination is taken before the student enters IIT. • Students must observe all rules of the College Level Examination Program regarding the taking of CLEP examinations. NOTE: Previous acceptance of the examination by another institution does not imply acceptance by IIT. Proficiency Examinations Any student who believes that, through self-study or outside experience, he or she has gained the substantive equivalent of the content of a specific course may ask for an examination. With the approval of the chair of the department offering the course and the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, a proficiency examination will be administered. This is a graded exam and the letter grade will be entered on the permanent record. Proficiency examinations are not allowed for courses in which the student has previously enrolled and must be completed before a student’s final 45 semester hours of enrollment at IIT. The Credit by Examination Form may be obtained in the Office of the Registrar and a per-credit-hour fee is charged for each examination. Dean’s List Every semester the names of all undergraduate students who have completed at least 12 graded hours with a semester GPA of 3.50 or better appear on the Dean’s List. Grade Appeal The assignment of letter grades (A, B, C, D, and E) is at the discretion of the course instructor, and except for unusual circumstances, the assigned course grade is final. Undergraduate students who want to appeal a letter grade assigned in a course should first confer directly with the course instructor. If the student and instructor cannot come to an agreement, a clear and concise written appeal should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs. All appropriate documentation supporting this appeal must be submitted at this time. This appeal must be submitted before the end of the next regular semester. The Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs will review the documentation and if appropriate, the appeal will be forwarded to the chair of the department offering the course. The chair will review the appeal with the course instructor and, if necessary, the dean of the college offering the course. The Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs will monitor the progress of the appeal and inform the student of the final decision. 266
