Students who are enrolled (matriculated) at the University at Buffalo may earn credit for an examination administered by a University at Buffalo department. These exams are comparable to final examinations. Departments determine whether to administer such examinations. Students applying for these exams must have an overall minimum GPA of 2.0 and not be graduating seniors. UB College Examination credit will not be awarded for exams that duplicate the content of a college course for which a student has already received credit. UB examination credit will not be awarded for exams if a student has completed more advanced study beyond the level to be covered by the exam. Students who wish to determine their eligibility for these examinations may obtain applications from the Student Response Center and then talk to their advisor and the academic department about eligibility for and availability of the exam. A fee is charged.
