Credit By Examination

In high school, students have the option to take a class that is considered "Advanced Placement" to earn credit or advanced standing at most of the nation's colleges and universities. Youngstown State University is a participating institution. Per the Undergraduate Bulletin, credit by examination is available to students who satisfactorily complete the appropriate subject examination.

If the student is already enrolled in college, the student has the option to take an exam to earn credit or advanced standing for that particular college level class.
