Berea College Advanced Standing Examination
Students may receive credit for most courses at Berea by obtaining an Advanced Standing Examination application form from the Student Service Center (Lincoln Hall, first floor) and arranging for the examination with the Program Chair. Upon the student’s request and the Program Chair’s approval, an instructor would write an examination. Course credit may be granted by Advanced Standing Examinations administered by the program. If awarded, the credit will be recorded on the student’s transcript under “Advanced Standing Examination,” with the course name. Students wishing to receive Advanced Standing credit for Art courses may submit a portfolio to help show evidence of skills and accomplishments. A student may not receive credit by Advanced Standing Examination in language courses numbered below the fourth level if the course is in the student’s first language. In addition, Advanced Standing Examinations are not given for any GSTR courses.
