Undergraduate students interested in receiving credit for College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) exams should arrange for their official grade reports to be sent directly from College-Level Exam Program (CLEP).
This evaluation of the credits awarded for College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) exams is subject to change and may be reviewed and revised periodically by faculty.
If credit is awarded, a student’s university record will carry notation of credit, but no grade will be recorded. Credit awarded will not affect a student’s grade-point average at
Limitations on credit earned through the College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) exams are as follows:
(1) the credit must be useful in a student's program of study;
(2) duplicate credit in the same subject is not awarded in any case.
General credits may be awarded for a (CLEP) examination that covers material that is not the substantial equivalent of material covered in a specific University course. General credits may be used to fulfill degree requirements in any area; such use is not necessarily limited to General Education or elective requirements. General credits are applied to a student’s program of study in accordance with the procedures established by the college of enrollment. Information on the use of general credits or specific course credits earned by the College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) exams in individual programs of study may be obtained from a student’s academic adviser or from the office of the dean of a student’s college.
