Proficiency Examination

Under certain circumstances, a proficiency examination can be arranged through consultation with a faculty advisor. This procedure provides the opportunity for the student to enroll in other courses of choice while fulfilling basic requirements without adding to the total course load. The fee for the administration of a proficiency examination with subsequent “EM” notation of successful completion on the student’s record is $15.00 per quarter credit hour. For more information, see the faculty advisor or Records Office.

The College also recognizes official documentation of completion of the Regents College Proficiency Examination program for Fundamentals of Nursing (403) and Maternal-Child Nursing, Associate Level (453). Students must achieve at least a minimum standard score of 45 on each test. For further information, contact the Nursing Department.
