Resolved that the Academic Senate urge the Board of Governors to explain in the document that "credit by examination" refers to an assessment process, and

Credit by Examination (substitute for h) No more than 50% of degree applicable credit may be granted by examination.
(new i) Credit by examination shall be defined in a flexible manner to allow multiple assessment measures as defined by the faculty of both the college and the high school.
