College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Students may elect to take one of the nationally standardized
CLEP tests, which allow them to earn college credit. CLEP
credits can satisfy prerequisites or reduce the number of
courses needed for a degree. Before registering for a test,
students must determine whether the credits may be applied
to a specific program at SCS by petitioning to the Student
Affairs Committee. CLEP credits do not count as part of the
final 12 units of work toward a degree. CLEP credit does not
satisfy the writing requirement. CLEP credit cannot be applied
to majors or minors. SCS accepts up to 11 units of credit
from CLEP tests.
CLEP test applications and information about testing sites
are available from both SCS offices. Additional information
on CLEP can be found at www.collegeboard.com/clep.
The following chart lists each exam, the minimum score required
to receive credit, the units earned for successful completion
of the exam and the equivalent SCS course that the student
will earn credit. Please note, that "1xx" indicates
the equivalent of a 100-level SCS course in which there is
not an exact SCS equivalent.
