When I was doing my undergraduate work at Oregon State, I challenged the
basic intro programming classes.  For one class, I just took the final exam
and took that grade; for another, I did one [simple] programming project and
took the final.  No lectures, no homework, no pain.

The University required that some sort of method be available for students
to challenge courses; I think it was up to the department and/or instructor
to decide what form it will take.  You may want to start with the Univ
regulations....
