Test-Out and Credit-by-Exam Policy
You may apply for test-out or credit-by-exam for comparative literature courses which carry general degree requirement (GDR) credit. The instructor who most recently offered the course will prepare a comprehensive written exam on the material covered in the course and will administer and grade the exam. If you receive a B- or better on the written exam you may test-out of the GDR requirement. To be eligible for credit-by-exam you must receive a grade of B or higher on the written exam, earn a grade of B or higher on an 8-10 page paper on a literary topic covered in the course, and receive the positive recommendation of the department. A maximum of 6 credits earned from credit-by-exam may count toward the comparative literature minor.
