University Undergraduate Advising Handbook

COLLEGE-LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP) OF THE
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION BOARD
(Senate Policy 42-94)

A student may be awarded credit based on performance on a CLEP exam taken before or after admission depending on the score earned on the examination and other factors, as indicated in the Undergraduate Degree Programs Bulletin. Up-to-date information on CLEP credit awards is available from Undergraduate Admissions.

When awarded, CLEP credit is recorded on the student's transcript. A grade is not recorded, and the student's grade-point average is not affected (see Cumulative Credits/Total Credits).

Note: A student must be in degree status or have completed at least one course of 3 credits or more at Penn State before CLEP credit will appear on the student's transcript.

The University may make changes in policies, procedures, educational offerings, and requirements at any time. Please consult a Penn State academic adviser for more detailed information.
