If you are transferring and need the credit on your transcript sooner, go to MCC’s Student Services Department in the upper level of the Donald C. Burns Administration/Library Building on the college’s Sidney campus. Please note: Financial aid does not pay for credits earned by exam.

Prerequisite WaiverStudents who wish to enroll in a higher-level course that requires a prerequisite can opt to test out of the prerequisite course. The test will not waive the requirement for other courses or for degree/certificate requirements. A Course Prerequisite Waiver form will be completed by CIS Lab personnel when all requirements have been met; this form must be presented at the time of registration in order to enroll in the higher-level course. Prerequisite Waiver forms are valid for one year.

Waiver by ExaminationUpon successful completion of the exam, the requirement for taking that course will be waived. If the course is required in a certificate or degree program, the student will be required to take the equivalent number of credits in other coursework. Waiver by Examination forms are valid for one year.
