All students at UNA are required to successfully complete the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) after completing 44 semester hours of coursework and prior to beginning the 70th hour of coursework. New students transferring in more than 70 hours of coursework must register for the CAAP exam during their first semester at UNA. The CAAP exam is only offered during the Spring and Fall semesters. The purpose of the examination is to measure what students learn during the basic program of study. Scores on the CAAP exam are compared nationally and a grade of "S" or "U" will be received on the course. A grade of "S" is required for graduation. For further information, contact the Center for Academic Advising and Retention Services.
