Credit for Courses Bypassed

New Freshmen

In some departments, you may be placed in sequential courses based on your scores on the ACT or department tests. If you place above the normal beginning level in this way, you may petition for credit in the courses bypassed. No credit is allowed for remedial courses bypassed.

Other UNO Students

In some departments, students who do exceptionally well in a sequential course at a given level may be permitted by the department to enroll in a course in that sequence other than the next one. If you receive advanced placement in this manner, you may petition for credit in the courses bypassed. No credit is allowed for remedial courses bypassed.

Validation of Advanced Placement

If you have bypassed a sequential course, you must validate that placement by passing the next course in the sequence with a "C" or better on your first attempt. Detailed information about this policy may be obtained from the dean's office of your college.

Special Notes

• You should not count on being permitted to use more than 30 semester hours of any combination of CLEP, bypass, advanced standing, non-traditional or military credit toward your degree.
• You cannot use this credit to reduce UNO's minimum residence requirement.
• You may not take a CLEP or advanced standing exam in a course which you have audited or in which you earned a grade (including an "F").
• Credit awarded by the Office of Admissions for non-collegiate and military courses may or may not be applicable toward your UNO degree; final determination of applicable credit will be made by the dean of your college.
