College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams are computer-based tests that allow students to demonstrate their ability in a given subject. By obtaining a particular score, recommended by the American Council of Education, students can obtain college credit. Students must submit an official copy of their CLEP scores to the Credentials Evaluation office. Credit is posted to the student transcript at the time of graduation. See the following list for policies on granting placement of credit for CLEP exams. Credit and/or placement will not be granted for scores below the ACE recommended score.
