Overview
Departments have the flexibility in determining whether a test-out is available for a particular course, the content of the test-out, and what test score/performance is required to earn credit. Students are assessed a non-refundable $100 fee for each test-out they register for, regardless of whether credit is earned.
Test-Out Administration
Departments need to share basic information about the test-out with students (e.g., where, when, and what the test-out covers, etc.).
Department administers the test-out and evaluates the student performance to determine whether the student earns credit or not.
Instructions
Email registrarcurriculum@iastate.edu a list with the following information:
- Student name (first and last)
- Student ID number (9 digits)
- Department offering course and course number (example: PHYS 2110)
- Test result (if the student passed or not)
- Term the test credit (T grade) should be assigned to (example: fall 2025)
The Office of the Registrar will then create a test credit section of your course if one does not already exist, assign the non-refundable $100 fee to the section, and register students in the section accordingly.
Students who pass will be assigned T credit that will be posted to their record at the end of the term. Students who do not pass will not earn credit and will still be assessed the fee.
