Challenge Exams for General Education Courses

Applicants who wish to receive academic credit for knowledge and skills acquired prior to attending the College have the opportunity to do so through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) challenge examinations. For associate degrees and certificate programs, transfer credits for challenge exams must be completed and submitted to the Registrar prior to the add/drop period of the third semester. For all other programs, challenge exams must be completed and submitted to the Registrar before the student has 12 credits remaining in their degree program.

  • Students who transfer credits for challenge exams prior to matriculation will not incur a fee.
  • Students who transfer credits for challenge exams after matriculation will incur a fee according to
    the fee schedule.

The CLEP examinations for courses that are required by this College’s curriculum may be taken at an authorized testing center of the student’s choice.

Refer to the college website for a listing of accepted CLEP exams. The scores achieved on the above challenge examinations must meet the score required by the College. Passing scores may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. If you have any questions about challenge exams and acceptable scores, please see the Registrar.

Students who wish to challenge general education credits should contact the Registrar's Office.
