College Level Examination Program (CLEP)


Credit may be granted for the achievement of a satisfactory score on the College Level Examination Program’s (CLEP) subject examinations. Satisfactory achievement on the subject examinations is defined as a score of 50 or above.

In general, CLEP examinations should be completed prior to the conclusion of the second semester at the university to avoid duplication of first-year introductory courses.
