College Level Examination (CLEP)

Credits may be awarded for each examination with scores that meet the minimum score requirement recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). Schools and/or academic departments determine the equivalent course level, the number of credits to award, and whether the exam meets college or degree requirements.

On July 1, 2010, CLEP replaced the following exams:

  • English Composition is replaced by College Composition Modular
  • Freshman College Composition is replaced by College Composition Modular
  • English Composition with Essay is replaced by College Composition
