If the student successfully passes the exemption test, he/she will receive an "EX" on his/her transcript. The grade will count in total hours earned but will not be calculated in the student's grade point average. Courses that are exempted may not be counted in the calculation of a student's total credit hours for determination of financial aid benefits, including the HOPE Book Allowance.

An Exemption Credit Payment Form must be completed by any student interested in attempting credit examination. These forms as well as a listing of courses currently available for exemption are available at www.laniertech.edu, select Forms & Policies, scroll to Registration & Records, or may be requested in the Office of Student Affairs.

The student will sign up to take the exam with the exam instructor; his or her advisor must approve the attempted exam and sign the Exemption Credit Payment Form. The exemption fee(s) of $5 per credit hour for the course(s) to be exempted must be paid before the student will be allowed to test.

When the exam is graded, the student will receive the test results and a copy of the Exemption Credit Payment Form. If a student passes the exemption test and would like to add an additional course during the seven (7) day add period, he or she should see his or her advisor. If a student fails the exemption test and would like to add this course during the seven (7) day add period, he or she should see his or her advisor for approval, then add the course via Banner Web. If space is available in the course to be added, fees for the added course must be paid by cash, check, credit card or invoice before the course will be added to the student's registration.
