6.1.7.1 Challenge for Credit Grades and Appeals
Challenge for credit courses are recorded as challenge courses on your transcript. The evaluation schemes for challenge for credit course registrations can be viewed in the course syllabus.
You have one opportunity to challenge a course. If you do not successfully complete, or you fail your challenge course, you are not permitted to challenge the course a second time. You must instead register in the full course and complete it successfully in order to receive credit. If you do not successfully complete the requirements of the challenge course you will be assigned a grade of “F” (failure).
All challenge for credit grade appeals are subject to an appeals process described in Athabasca University’s Student Code of Conduct and Right to Appeal Regulations.
