    Eligibility for Experiential Credit is determined at the application stage of the enrollment process. The application and all supporting documentation are reviewed and an assessment made indicating which courses may be eligible for academic credit.

    Additional details on Experiential Learning may be found by following this link: Experiential Learning

    Challenge Examinations
    During the admissions process, all professional experience is reviewed to determine if an applicant has sufficient occupational experience to warrant taking a Challenge Examination in lieu of completing the Study Guide for a particular course.

    An applicant may be offered an opportunity to complete a Challenge Examination if the candidate's occupational expertise appears to be comparable to the objectives identified for a particular course. Successfully passing a Challenge Examination will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence for that course. If a student does not pass a Challenge Examination they are assigned a Study Guide for completion.

    Additional details on Challenge Examinations may be found by following this link: Challenge Exams

    Study Guides
    California Coast University has developed comprehensive Study Guides, for each course, that are designed to coordinate and sequence the learning materials for the student. Study Guides are based on specific college level textbooks, which may be obtained from local bookstores, the publisher, or the University's Lending Library which is available by telephone, fax, e-mail or on-line via Coast Connection.

    Study Guides are organized in such a way that a student receives a complete syllabus for each course along with instructional materials, which guides the student chapter by chapter through the corresponding textbook.

    Each Study Guide contains an overview and summary of each textbook chapter, along with a listing of important keywords (with definitions) and self-tests (with answers) on key points.

    Study Guides include 4 "Unit Tests" equally spaced throughout the instructional materials, a brief writing assignment and the Final Examination. Examinations are designed to test the student on the preceding chapters. All tests are un-timed and may be completed as open book tests.

    Additional information on Study Guides may be found by following this link: Study Guides

    Proctored Final Examinations
    The Bachelor of Science degree programs require that a Proctor administer Final Examinations in the Major (or core) courses and in all General Education courses. Proctored Examinations are conducted as un-timed open book examinations.

    The purpose of the proctored examination is to verify that you are, in fact, the person who enrolled in the course of study. During proctored examinations, you may use your course textbook, and any notes that you have taken during the completion of your Study Guide.

    The student selects the Proctor. A Proctor can be any responsible person who is not a family member. (Such as your Minister, Rabbi, a co-worker, librarian, etc)
