Policies: Students expecting to test out of a course should not enroll in the course. The student must be enrolled at Northwest for the period during which the test-out is administered and credit is awarded.
The chairperson or dean determines what courses are available for test-out and will arrange for the test-out process in accordance with department policy.
试销会导致计划变更的地方, the entire test-out process should be completed before the end of the 100% refund period.
Test-out may not be taken to superseded a "D" or "F" grade. 考试可在符合资格的班级重复进行两次, subject to department approval but a period of six months must elapse between testing. A letter grade of "A", "B", "C", or "D" will be assigned.
