Credit by Examination (EM Credit)
Students who are currently enrolled at the University as an undergrad are eligible to take the placement exam and receive Credit by Examination (EM Credit). In essence, EM Credit is what is awarded if a student is placed in ASL level 2 or higher. A student is awarded 5 credit hours for each ASL-GEC level tested out of. The credit does not affect the students’ grade point average, but it does count as hours toward graduation.
Note: EM credit will NOT be awarded for courses that are prerequisites to those for which college credit has ALREADY been earned, or for any course in which a student has received either a mark at OSU or transfer credit from another institution.
