ICBE Testing Procedures
PLEASE contact Cynthia Swain via email at cswain@alasu.edu
The Testing Center is a Student Support Center; therefore, all students must adhere to the rules listed below.
Testing Center Procedures:
Credit in certain courses offered at Alabama State University may be earned by Institutional Credit by Examination. On the basis of previous training or experience, any student who has reason to believe he or she can pass an examination in one or more of these courses may be permitted to register for such examination with the approval of the Dean and the assigned instructor in the particular departmental areas.
A student must have completed six (6) semester hours of traditional credit at ASU and have successful completion of a course within the last 12 months to have non-traditional credit applied to their record.
• A minimum score of 80 is required to receive credit for the exam.
• A student attempting credit-by-examination will be awarded a grade of “P”; except in the case of failure, no grade will be recorded.
• An exam score or credit earned is not included in the computation of the grade point average (GPA).
For specific information, contact the Testing Center at (334) 229-4385 or via email at testing@alasu.edu
• Registration must be completed prior to the start of Fall and Spring Semesters
• To register for the ICBE, you may stop by the Testing Center Office located in McGehee 105, or by using the ASU website at www.alasu.edu
CBE is Credit-By-Exam. A Credit-By-Exam (CBE) program allows you to earn college credit for what you already know. Passing tests through a credit-by-exam program offers students the opportunity to earn college credit.
