<p>Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a way to take a class even if I'm exempted from it. I heard that it's near impossible to petition the credit and that I would have to take the class for no grade and credit. Is this true?</p>
<p>Yes, you have to take it for no grade and no credit. But if you are doing it for grad school, they will still appear on your transcript it for them. There is no way to petition the credit unless you can somehow persuade them that you are so incompetent in the subject that you actually don’t deserve the credit (but at that point, they might just kick you out of the university) .</p>
<p>Ah, okay, thanks for clarifying that! When I sign up for classes in late august, do I have to do anything special to register for a class that I’m exempted from? (Like having to go through an advisor or something.)</p>
<p>No; as long as you send the transcripts correctly it will appear on your degree audit. On your degree audit it tells you what equivalent course credit you are getting. If you got a five on AP bio, you get credit for BILD 1,2,3 (or something like that). So technically it is not that you are exempt, the fact is that you already have the credit; which is why you can’t retake the course for more credit because you already have it.</p>
