Exam Eligibility Hours Calculator
Determine if you meet the minimum credit hour requirements for exam eligibility. Enter your completed hours, in-progress hours, and the required threshold to see your eligibility status.
Formula
Countable Hours = Completed Hours + (In-Progress Hours, if included; otherwise 0)
Hours Still Needed = max(0, Required Hours − Countable Hours)
Eligible = Countable Hours ≥ Required Hours
Progress (%) = min(Countable Hours ÷ Required Hours × 100, 100)
Assumptions & References
- Credit hours are measured in semester credit hours (SCH); half-credit increments (0.5) are supported.
- Whether in-progress hours count toward eligibility varies by institution or licensing board — confirm with your program or exam authority.
- Common exam eligibility thresholds: CPA Exam (150 SCH), many bachelor's programs (120 SCH), associate degrees (60 SCH).
- Transfer credits, AP/CLEP credits, and repeated courses should be counted only as officially accepted by your institution.
- This calculator does not account for GPA requirements, specific course prerequisites, or residency requirements.
- Always verify eligibility requirements directly with the relevant licensing board or academic institution.
