| General Education Waiver Process |
- A waiver indicates that requirements for a GE Goal have been met and no further courses are needed
- Receiving a waiver is not the same as receiving credit for a course.
- Students can not attempt to waive a GE goal while they are enrolled in a GE course satisfying the same goal.
- Normally, students can attempt to waive a GE goal only once.

Fees and Credit
Fees must be paid before a waiver test is attempted. Fees will be determined at the time of the assessment and are subject to change. Capital University charges an additional $15 fee to cover the costs of administering a CLEP test. Because of the license agreement with CLEP, Capital cannot provide study guides for CLEP tests; however, they can be purchased online from The College Board.
Students must present a photo ID at the time any test is administered.

Testing Schedule Tests are given by appointment only Monday through Friday beginning at 8:30 a.m. To make an appointment or receive additional information, contact the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching at 614-236-6327. |
