The University will accept credit toward the degree for satisfactory performance on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams. Minimum score requirements for each exam are set by the academic department with jurisdiction over the course involved. In some cases, a department will not accept CLEP credit for core courses in the major. All guidelines are subject to change by the academic department awarding credit. The University will accept a maximum of 60 semester hours of advanced placement toward the undergraduate degree. Students should request advanced placement credit as early as possible upon admission to degree status.
