Departmental Exams


Testing Out of a Class

It is possible to "test out" of CPT-103 Microcomputer Applications, CPT-106 Introduction to Microsoft Operating Systems, and CPT-115 Introduction to Data Processing. The fee for each departmental test-out exam is equal to one credit hour of current in-district tuition. A student may receive credit for the class(es), or may waive a pre-requisite. Consult an academic counselor to determine whether your program of study requires you to take the test or class for credit, and for further information.

Important to know about these tests:

  • You may only take these exams once.
  • The tests are available during normal Assessment Center hours. Not available on Saturdays. Allow at least two hours to complete before closing.
  • It is the responsibility of the student to determine if credit by exam will be accepted at their transfer institution.
  • Your SCC student ID is required to take a departmental exam.
