A student may acquire credits by achieving a satisfactory score on one or more of the College Level Examinations - Subject and General. Examinations may be taken at any CLEP Center. Students should check with their Student Success Coach to make sure that they are eligible to receive credit for the particular exams they plan to take.
Students whose total credits, including CLEP credits, do not exceed sixty (60), are permitted to take these exams. Students who have failed or withdrawn from a course cannot receive CLEP credit for that course.
