College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College Entrance Examination Board offers examinations covering material taught in courses that most students take in the first two years of college. Students may earn credit for CLEP exams with a passing score of 50 or more. Students requesting Credit for Prior Learning using the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) shall receive credit for completing a satisfactory score on a district approved College Level Examination under the following circumstances:

• CLEP credits will count towards general education, major, or elective credits for an MSJC local Associate degree. 
• CLEP may or may not be accepted by other colleges and universities. Students must check with the specific transfer institutions catalogs to determine regulations regarding CLEP. 
• CLEP credit posted to another institution’s transcript will be reevaluated based on MSJC's standards and may or may not be equal to credit received at another institution. CLEP credit posted to a student’s MSJC transcript may or may not be accepted for equal units at another institution.
• Each California State University will determine how CLEP exams are accepted. Check with your transfer institution for correct CLEP transfer information.
• The University of California system does not accept CLEP exams.
