Proficiency Exams

Proficiency exams allow students who feel they have already mastered course material to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge in a particular course. Students who pass proficiency exams will receive credit for the appropriate course(s). Students cannot complete proficiency exams for courses in which they have previously been enrolled at DeVry. Courses for which proficiency credit is allowed are not included in the GPA. Proficiency exams cost $20 per exam and are administered during the first two days of week two of each term. Proficiency exams must be scheduled by the end of week one.
