Proficiency exams

LLCC offers credit by proficiency in selected courses. Students should obtain a Petition for Proficiency form from the Student Services Hub. A $20 exam fee, submitted with the form, is required for each test taken by a student, including retests. A period of one semester is required between retests.

Once a student has earned credit by proficiency examination, a fee of $50 per course is to be paid before the credit is recorded on the official transcript as proficiency credit. The number of credit hours completed is indicated as credit hours earned, but PR appears in place of a grade. However, hours earned by proficiency credit have no effect on the student’s grade point average.

Acceptance of proficiency credit varies among colleges and universities.

Students may earn credit for proficiency in the following courses:
