College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
All Schools, except the School of Graduate and Professional Studies
Elizabethtown College participates in the CLEP Program of the
College Board
accepting a score of 50 or higher in subject areas upon matriculation to the college.
- All CLEP Exams must be completed prior to achievement of sophomore status (30 or more recorded college credits).
- Up to 32 credits may be awarded for any combination of Challenge Examinations (AP, CLEP, IB, etc.) and none of the credits may duplicate College credits completed or enrolled in at the time of the examination. In order to fulfill Elizabethtown’s Power of Language - English Core requirement, the CLEP English Composition exam must be taken with the essay.
- CLEP credits are accepted and recorded as transfer credits, therefore, letter grades are not assigned or calculated into the cumulative grade point average at Elizabethtown College. If a student earned credit in a course deemed equivalent to the AP credits already earned, the AP credits will be forfeited and removed from their academic record.
-
Currently enrolled students MUST complete the CLEP Examination Approval Form PRIOR to examination. Elizabethtown College reserves the right to deny transfer credit to a student without prior approval.
Any student with advanced knowledge in the CLEP subject will be prohibited from earning transfer credit through CLEP examination.
- CLEP credits do not satisfy the residency requirement for graduation.
