CLEP AT CMU
The
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the
College Board affords students and prospective students the
opportunity to demonstrate their academic proficiency at the
freshman-sophomore college level in various general areas and in
specific subjects.
Policies
concerning the use of CLEP General Examinations at Central
Michigan University are developed and controlled by the Academic
Senate. The minimum scores for CLEP Subject Examinations are
determined by the department authorizing credit for the subject.
When
a student submits evidence of achievement by CLEP, this evidence
will be evaluated by the Registrar's Office with credit being
granted in appropriate areas.
A.
To be eligible for credit for CLEP scores, a student must have
been granted regular undergraduate admission at CMU and an
official score report must be on file.
B. The student may not at any time have been enrolled in the
course for which credit is being sought nor in a higher level
course in the same subject. A student is not considered to
have been enrolled in a course if they have dropped the course
during the regular drop/add period at the beginning of the
semester.
C. Credit for the CLEP General Examinations in Humanities
and/or Social Science/History will not be granted after
university study has begun.
Exceptions:
Students with concurrent high school and CMU enrollments or
students who have participated in certain special vocationally
oriented programs may be eligible to take these examinations.
Answers to specific questions on eligibility can be obtained
from the Undergraduate
Academic Services Office or the Center for Learning
Assessment Services (Computer Based Testing Center). Eligibility in
individual cases will be determined by the Undergraduate
Academic Services.
D.
Students may receive three (3) credit hours in ENG 101 for the
General Examination in English Composition with Essay only if
that examination is taken before the end of their first
college semester. Transfer students may take this examination
during their first semester at CMU to meet the Basic Freshman
Composition requirement, but no credit will be awarded.
Available only in January, April, June and October.
E. CLEP examination credit may not be used to repeat any
course(s) previously taken.
F. Grades for the CLEP examinations, where credit is granted,
will be recorded as Credit (CR) without points.
