College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Students can earn a maximum of 45 semester hours of college credit by submitting a score of 50 or above. CLEP students will be charged a testing and service fee.

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 students' permanent record 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.

Other prior learning assessments are offered by PHSC including DSST and UExcel tests. Each of these programs offers tests in multiple subject areas including business, education, humanities, mathematics, natural science, physical science, social sciences, and technology.
