Challenge exams are paper-based.  If you pass the exam, you will receive credit for the course (3 or 4 credits) and a grade of S (Satisfactory), which will not affect your GPA.  If you don’t pass the exam, nothing will be reported on your transcript.  Credit for the challenge exam will not give you credit for the lab, CHEM 108, 112, or 114, so you will need to take that separately should you need this course for your major.

To take the challenge exam for CHEM 107, 111, or 113, you’ll need to:

• Visit https://registrar.colostate.edu/challenge-exam/ to read about the CSU departmental challenge exams.
• Read the attached policies and fill out the challenge exam form.
• Print and sign the form.  Make sure you fill out the fields.
• Scan the form and return it to Kerry MacFarland as an attachment via email.  If approved, Dr. MacFarland will sign and return via email attachment.

Courses may be added and dropped on RAMweb through the end of the Add/Drop period for the individual class. After the first week of class, an Add Restriction override from the instructor is required to add a course. The specific Add/Drop deadline for each course is listed on the online Class Schedule or on “Registered Courses” on RAMweb . When an on-campus course is dropped, any charges associated with the course are refunded. For refunds associated with Continuing Education online courses, refer to CSU Online.

A $50 late registration fee will be assessed to any student adding their first class or Continuous Registration on or after the first day of classes.
