Taking the Credit Exams

Modality: The credit exams are taking place in-person and on campus.

Date/Date: Wednesday, September 2nd, at 4 PM

Room/Location: TBD (campus map)

Food: Students are welcome to bring snacks to eat in the room during the exam. Since there is no break between exams, students may not have time to leave the classroom to get food between exams. We suggest bringing something along to eat.

Calculators: The use of calculators or notecards is not permitted on the exams.

A formula sheet will be provided for the MATH 222 credit exams. The MATH 221, 234, and 340 credit exams will not have a formula sheet provided.

Identification: You will need your student ID (or, if unavailable, a picture ID) in order to submit the exam. Please bring a (digital or printed) copy of your registration confirmation email in case it’s asked for.

Registration & Fees: Students must register in order to take the exam. The registration deadline is 24 hours before the exam. There will be a $135 fee for each exam. This fee is non-refundable. (The fee is waived for Banner, FASTrack, Bucky’s Tuition Promise and Pell students.) The Bursar’s Office will add this as an additional charge to a student’s account distinct from regular tuition and fees. Failure to appear at the exam location during the specified time will result in the forfeiture of this fee.

Payment information will be sent to students after the exam.

Registration Cancellation: below is the policy on cancelling one’s registration for a credit exam. Note that if a student wishes to cancel their exam registration, we suggest they do it as soon as they are sure they wish to cancel:

• Students that would like to cancel their registration for an exam at least 24 hours prior to the beginning of the credit exams should email enrollment@math.wisc.edu. Students who email at least 24 hours prior to the exams and notify the Math Department of their cancellation will not be charged a fee for the exam.
• Students that would like to cancel their registration within 24 hours of the exam due to an unforeseeable and unavoidable situation should email enrollment@math.wisc.edu with a reason why they are cancelling on short notice. Their request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Students in this case who have their cancellations approved will not be charged a fee for the exam.
• Students that do not email to request a cancellation prior to the exam and do not show up to the exam will still be charged a fee for the exam.
• Students requesting McBurney disability accommodation should register at least 1 week before the registration deadline. The department may not be able to fulfill accommodation requests made in the days before the exam.
