College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Students may earn a maximum of 45 semester hours of college credit by submitting a score of 50 or above under the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). Students will be charged a testing fee. Twenty-five percent of the program must be taken in residency at PHSC.

Credit may be awarded for CLEP Subject Examinations if submitted scores are at or above the percentile specified in rules of the State Board of Education and Internal Management Memorandum #3-20. Evaluation of CLEP credit is made after the application fee is paid and students are admitted to the College. CLEP credit will appear on the student's permanent records without indication of a grade. Credits earned through CLEP do not satisfy the program residency requirements. Students seeking this credit are strongly advised to discuss their academic plans with an advisor before registering.
