Credit by Examination (CBE)
Recognizing that students may have background in particular academic areas, the faculty has made it possible for students to earn credit by examination.
Advanced Placement & Credit By Exam
Students are eligible to receive UM credits for Advanced Placement exams completed in high school; Some are eligible to receive up to 8 retroactive credits for a foreign language based on a UM placement test. Scores necessary vary by subject.
Physics Credit by Exam
It is possible to get credit for PHYSICS 125, 126, 140 and 240 by exam. You must register for this examination with the Student Services Office and pay the required fee ($318). Student Services is located in 2464 Randall Lab on Central Campus.
The minimum passing grade is 70%. Note that in the past only about half of the students who attempt these exams manage to pass.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Examinations
College Level Examination Program offers general and subject examinations that can be used to gain college credit. The assumption is that the exams measure learning or knowledge gained through experiences outside of the traditional classroom. The faculty at U of M will not accept any of the GENERAL EXAMS.
Please note that the U-M is NOT a testing center for any CLEP exams.
Credit by Examination (CBE)
Recognizing that students may have background in particular academic areas, the faculty has left it to each department to decide if it is possible for students to earn credit by examination. Credit earned by examination is out-of-residence credit.
Advanced Placement (AP) credit
Students may receive credit for Advanced Placement exams they complete in High School. Policies governing AP credits vary from department to department. Your AP credit cannot count toward any LSA requirement other than the language requirement. If at the time you took an AP exam, you did not specify the University of Michigan as the recepient of your score, please refer to the College Board web site for information regarding additional score reports.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (I.B.) examinations, an official Transcript of Examination Grades must be sent by the I.B. Office (New York, Geneva, or London) directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions generally awards credit for I.B. higher level examinations passed with scores of 5 (or in some subjects, 4) or above. The University does not give credit for subsidiary level examinations
Advanced Level (A-level) credit
Students who are pursuing or who have completed A-level exams will generally be awarded advanced standing ranging between 6 and 10 credit hours for certain advanced or principal level examinations completed with a grade of D or better. Three to five credits may be awarded for certain A/S exams with an acceptable grade.

The University of Michigan does not award college credit for O-Level exams.
