Students may satisfy prerequisites and sometimes earn credit by the following methods: (1) individual examinations offered by the academic departments of Rutgers; (2) the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) offered by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, NJ 08541; (3) the Thomas Edison College Examination Program (TECEP) offered by Thomas Edison State College, 101 West State Street, Trenton, NJ 08625; or (4) Prior Learning Assessment offered by Thomas Edison State College. Prior approval by the School of Arts and Sciences and the appropriate academic department is required before seeking credit through examination; approval by the major department also is required for credit in the major field. The awarding of credits through these methods is uncommon and decisions are made on a course-by-course basis.
