If you enroll in a degree program that includes TESOL courses as part of its curriculum, you will be required to successfully complete the final exams for those courses, regardless of prior TESOL certification.
However, your existing TESOL training may qualify for Classroom Learning Credit (CLC) through the HESEAP Credit Evaluation Program. If CLC is awarded, you may be permitted to bypass the instructional portion of those courses—but all students, including those with CLC, must still pass the comprehensive final exam for each course to receive credit.
