Honors Awards
- Darton State College sponsors an Honors Awards Ceremony each
spring semester. On this special occasion students who have excelled in various academic
areas and student life are recognized.
Credit by Exam
– Any student who believes he/she is proficient in an academic subject
is encouraged to apply for credit by examination. Credit by examination cannot be awarded
unless the student is enrolled at Darton State College. Credit by examination will not be
awarded in courses for which the student has already earned a grade (A, B, C, D, F and WF).
Only course credit will be awarded for successful credit by exam; no academic quality points
will be assigned. Thus, credits earned by examination will not have any effect on the
students’ grade point average.
Students may attempt credit by exam by taking either an institutional challenge exam or a
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam.
1. Challenge examinations
Challenge exams may not be taken more than one time in each particular
course.
Inquiries about challenge exams should be directed to the division or
department Dean/Chair where the course is taught.
2. CLEP exams
CLEP exams are College Entrance Examination Board exams offered through
the Testing Center for a fee.
A waiting period of six months is required before a CLEP exam can be
retaken.
CLEP exams with a score of 50 will yield Darton State College credit in most
cases as listed below.
