With the approval of the academic adviser, the dean of the Ernest
Mario School of Pharmacy, and the department concerned, a student may,
upon payment of a fee, take a proficiency examination in courses
offered at the university. Degree credit is given for a grade of B or
better, as determined by the department concerned. The grades for
courses passed by this means are not computed in the cumulative
grade-point average. Proficiency examinations ordinarily are not
allowed in the following cases:
1. after the student has failed the course
2. for courses in which the principal content is laboratory or
creative work, since the course`s primary value is in the student`s
continuing and supervised participation
3. when a student`s fourth- or fifth-year program is limited as to overload
4. for military education courses
5. for minicourses
