With the approval of 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
