Advanced Placement Policy (AP):

Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer a multitude of benefits to high school students. Firstly, they provide an opportunity for students to foster intellectual curiosity and academic growth. By challenging students with college-level material, AP courses help prepare high school students for the rigor of higher education, cultivating essential skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and time management. Moreover, successfully completing AP courses and exams can lead to college credit, allowing students to save both time and money in their post-secondary education journey. Overall, the benefits of AP courses extend far beyond the classroom, shaping well-rounded individuals poised for future success.

Transient Permission:

A student desiring to take course work as a transient student at another college must have his or her course approved in advance by the Registrar by completing the transient form.  Approval must be granted prior to completing the course for transfer credit to be awarded.  Transient permission will not be granted for a course in which the student has received a grade and all prerequisites for the course at Limestone University must be met.  No more than 15 semester hours of correspondence course credit will be accepted toward the Associate or Bachelor’s degree.

CLEP/Dantes/Limestone University Credit by Exam:

Credit may be earned by degree seeking students by means of several types of credit by exams:  CLEP, Dantes or a special exam subject through an academic division.  A student must apply by completing the credit by exam form. The student must have approval prior to scheduling the examination. Credit cannot be earned by examination for any course in which a grade has been received or any course which has been audited.  A maximum of twenty-five percent (25%) of all degree requirements may be earned through credit by examination.  Courses for which a student earns credit by examination are considered transfer credits and therefore are not included in the total earned credit hours for graduation honors or grade point average. Seniors graduating in May must request credit by examination no later than March 15 and complete the exam no later than April 1. Seniors graduating in December must request the examination no later than October 15 and complete the exam no later than November 1st.

You may view enrollment for the current semester or for all prior semesters. The information submitted to the National Student Clearinghouse is based on the student’s information in our system at the time the report is completed.
