College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CLEP is a national program of credit-by-examination that offers students the opportunity to obtain recognition for College-level achievement. CLEP offers Subject Examinations. CLEP credits will be reflected on the student’s transcript as transfer credits. No more than twenty-four (24) hours of credit can be received through CLEP tests for both general and subject examinations combined.

To be considered for credit students must achieve scores of 50 or higher for each CLEP exam. No credit may be granted for CLEP tests, which are repeated. If a student fails a CLEP test, then retakes the test, the student may not receive credit even if the subsequent score meets the criterion.

The amount of credit to be awarded is to be determined by the Registrar and Division Dean in whose department/division the test falls. Credit will be granted only when an official CLEP score report is sent directly from the College Board to the Office of Registrar. Duplicate reports, examinee's copies or score reports received in any other manner, with the exception of a CLEP examination administered at the College are not acceptable.
