Exemption Exams are typically offered before each new semester begins. All exams are open to both Full-Time MSW Program and Part-Time MSW Program students unless otherwise noted. Exams will last two hours, are offered virtually, and are free. Students may only take each exam once. Students should take an exam before the they are intending to take the corresponding course, so it is known if they must take the course as planned. Study materials are found below. Students who pass an exemption exam will receive credit for that course, which will appear on their transcript; therefore, they are exempt from taking the course(s) in the MSW Program.
