What
is Credit by Exam ?
A
student in good academic standing may qualify to take a special examination
for credit.
You cannot
earn Credit by Exam ( challenging a course ) for a lower-numbered
course if you have already taken (or have received credit for) a more
advanced course within the same topic or area. For example, Credit by
Exam for SPAN 305 may not be earned if the student has already completed
SPAN 306 or any higher-numbered Spanish course.
Credit by
Exam may not be attempted in a particular course more than once. It may
not be earned in a course the student has failed or audited, until one
calendar year has passed.
Students
who intend to challenge courses to complete Spanish Major or Minor requirements
must take exams for a letter grade, unless the course is only offered
on an S/U basis except. Courses used to satisfy university graduation
requirements must also be taken for a letter grade.
Contact your
advisor for Credit by Exam options for the following courses: SPAN 111,
112, 211, 212, 305, 306, and 309.
Native speakers
may have the conversation course (SPAN 309) waived, or can take the Credit
by Exam option to get the credits.
For other
courses, please contact the professor who is teaching the course this
semester.
Procedure:
1) Get an application at the Office of Admissions and Records, where it
is reviewed to determine eligibility.
2) Get a signed approval from the advisor, the chair of the Department,
and the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts.
3) Pay the fee at the Cashier s Office (in 2005, the fee was $25).
4) Submit the completed application to the department examiner. |

How
do I transfer credits from another university?
Request
an official transcript from the University where you studied and have
it sent to Admissions and Records.
If, after
Admissions and Records has processed your transcript, any Spanish course
you took at another university does not appear on it, or if you wish to
substitute courses you took at another university for UNR courses, see
your advisor and bring with you a copy of the transcript and a copy of
the course description (from the other university s catalog or the
original syllabus for the course). |

Abroad Consortium, which offers many semester, year, and summer programs

Consortium may count towards your Major or Minor requirements. Talk with
your advisor about what courses you should take abroad.

application is processed on time. |

What
is the best time to study abroad?

(SPAN 212). You might also choose to study abroad after you finish two
or more 300-level courses at UNR.
