Departmental Advanced Standing
Advanced standing credit can be earned at Southeastern by evaluating a student’s previous learning experiences through testing. Most departments offer some courses by examination. Students should consult with the chair of the department offering the course of interest as to whether it can be taken by examination.
Application forms for these examinations can be obtained from the office of the appropriate academic dean. Administration of the examination and the granting of the credit must be approved by the respective department chair and the academic dean of the school.
The charge for administering an institutional advanced standing examination is $7.50 per semester credit hour and must be paid prior to taking the examination.
The Department of Management, Marketing, and Business Information Management offers the following courses by examination: [The cut–off score will be the equivalent of “C” or better (70% or more).]
- BIM 1553 Business Computer Applications
- BIM 1563 Desktop Document Production
For other courses offered by examination, see the department chair of the course of interest.
ACE College Credit Recommendation Service
The American Council on Education administers the Registry of Credit Recommendations for organizations participating in the College Credit Recommendation Service (CCRS) [formerly called Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI)].

Currently enrolled students may be granted credit in accordance with the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations, after completion of 12 semester hours of course work at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. To obtain credit, the student must have a transcript provided by the American Council on Education (ACE).
