Hello!!I am hoping someone can help me with this...I want to apply to IUPUI for the fall but my anatomy and phsiology from Purdue are too old (I took them 8 years ago and they have a 7 year rule). Besides trying to take the CLEP/DANTES test, is there a way to prove I still have the knowledge through my past career? Has anyone had this experience and what did you do?Thanks for your help!!:bowingpur

I took my ANP1 17 years ago and Ivy Tech accepted it because I have been an LPN for 18 years. ( they usually have a 5 year rule).Be persistant! A squeeky wheel makes noise!Good luck!

These time limit rules are silly. I personally think it comes down to $$$. Since when do college degree's, grades earned, and professional experience expire?

Since when do college degree's, grades earned, and professional experience expire?And how much have anatomy and physiology (the real stuff, not the academic subjects) changed in the last eight years. Last time I looked, the stuff was all in the same place.
