Is credit or placement by examination possible at UofM? I’ve done my fair share of self-study and as a freshman, I’d love to have the opportunity to try my hand at some of the upper-level classes.

My APs are in mathematics and the sciences, and since I’ve already graduated from HS, it doesn’t seem practical do them in other areas (why spend time preparing for standardized tests when I could do/learn more independently).

Does anyone know (from personal or vicarious experience) if its possible to do things like taking the final for a class and getting credit (or acknowledgment of having attained the same level of proficiency)?

P.S. I’m only an accepted student, so I’m not certain yet if I’ll be attending UofM.
