OU offers a number of departmental prior learning assessment examinations. Interested students should consult with an academic advisor during enrollment before scheduling an examination.

All examinations are administered by the OU Testing Center except for aviation exams. Students need to contact the Chief Flight Instructor in the School of Aviation in the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences for information on those examinations at (405) 325-7231. Once approved, students will pay for exams by choosing Prior Learning Assessment Exams.

For the examinations administered by the OU Testing Center, students should call (405) 325-1921 or consult the Prior Learning Assessment website for information.

*Departmental approval required prior to taking the examination.

A placement examination is a departmental examination which is given to determine a student’s level of competence in a subject and to place that student in the course where the probability of his or her success seems greatest. Performance on placement examinations does not result in the awarding of academic credit, but students who successfully place into advanced level courses may—with departmental approval—be able to establish prior learning assessment credit in lower division courses. For specific information about procedures regarding advanced placement and establishing prior learning assessment credit, contact the responsible departments.
