Departmental Examinations
Some departments whose courses are
not adequately covered by either the Advanced
Placement or College Level Examination
Programs wish, nevertheless, to
participate in the program of credit by examination.
Students have the opportunity,
therefore, to earn credit by departmental
examination as well as through satisfactory
scores on AP and CLEP examinations.
A student seeking credit by departmental
examination should make written
application through his/her advisor to the
department involved at least one month
before the examination is desired. After
consideration, the department will notify
the student's advisor of the acceptance
or rejection of the application. Within ten
days of administration of the examination
the department will certify to the Registrar
either "credit" or "no credit."
The fee for a departmental examination
for credit is indicated under Special Services
Fees in Chapter 3. This fee is to be
paid or charged to the student's account
after the application has been approved
and before the administration of the examination.
The fee is not refundable.
Each participating department is free
to determine the type of examination to
be administered, whether standardized
or pre-pared by the members of the
department.
Academic areas participating in this program
are accounting, art, biology, chemistry,
criminal justice, communication, finance
and economics, foreign languages,
geology, management and marketing,
mathematics, military science, physics, sociology,
and the various departments of
the School of Music and of the Logsdon
School of Theology.

Academic Advising
A student entering Hardin-Simmons University
for the first time is assigned to an
academic advisor in the field of his/her
interest who is a member of the University
faculty/staff. Advisors give the beginning
student proper orientation to college work
and continue to serve as guides and consultants.
Since a good beginning will minimize
subsequent difficulties, the student is
given assistance in planning a course of
study. Counseling is always available as
needed. All students are required to confer
with their academic advisor and plan
an approved schedule before registration.
It is the student's responsibility to
know and comply with catalogue regulations
governing admission, registration,
retention, withdrawal, degree plans,
graduation requirements, payment of
tuition, etc.
