Self-Study Assessments

In this Section

Share this Page

If you’re a self-motivated, independent learner, you can use CSU-Global’s Self-Study Assessments to earn credits toward your bachelor’s degree faster than you would through traditional, instructor-led courses.

You’ll save money on tuition, too, as CSU-Global’s Self-Study Assessments cost 75 percent less than the standard CSU-Global tuition rate (which is already considerably lower than the national average).

In addition to the cost and time savings, Self-Study Assessments provide you with a different option for learning that might suit you better for specific courses and subject areas. Since you study on your own, you can get as in-depth in your learning as you need, and then you’ll be tested on your knowledge, rather than be required to write papers and complete critical-thinking assignments. Self-Study Assessments are just another way that CSU-Global helps personalize your academic journey.

Speed up your degree and save 75% over CSU-Global's already lower tuition rates with Self-Study Assessments

How It Works

You’ll get help preparing for your Self-Study Assessment. CSU-Global offers study prep materials, including a suggested textbook, to help you improve and test your understanding of the material.

When you’re ready to sit for the exam, you’ll pay a non-refundable exam fee of $250 per 3-credit Self-Study Assessment, or $150 per one credit. If you receive a score of 70 percent or higher on the exam, you’ll receive the undergraduate college credits equivalent to that specific course. Students have a 16-week period to complete their Self-Study Assessment exams.

Self-Study Assessments are considered nonresident credits, and they will apply toward an undergraduate degree at CSU-Global. If you transfer to another institution, that institution may or may not accept your Self-Study Assessment credits, at their discretion.

If you plan to transfer to another institution before you finish your degree, you should submit your Self-Study Assessment Study Guide to that institution before you invest in a Self-Study Assessment.

Self-Study Assessment exam credit is not currently approved for Colorado gtPathway guaranteed transfer because Self-Study Assessments are not considered resident credit.

Fill out the form to the right to request more information about the credit opportunities available through CSU-Global. If you're a current student, you can also find additional information about Self-Study Assessments and other alternative sources of credit through the Student Portal.
