CLEP Examinations
The University recognizes that many experiences relevant to a student’s education occur in places other
than the traditional classroom setting. Students may receive advanced credits through the College‐Level
Examination Program (CLEP) administered for the College Entrance Examination Board by Educational
Testing Service (ETS).
Scores earned must be in or at the 50th percentile for awarding credit. The following conditions apply.
1. Students must be admitted and have matriculated at the University for one semester before
credit is posted;
2. Students cannot use CLEP credits as part of the final 30 semester hours, and the final 30
semester hours must be taken in residence;
3. To receive credit, the CLEP test must have been taken at a nationally recognized CLEP Test
Center approved by ETS; and
4. An official score report must be forwarded to the Office of Admissions for evaluation.
CLEP examinations posted on transcripts from other institutions will be accepted if the examination has
been approved by Bowie State University and the scores reported are equal to or higher than those
required by the Institution. It is the responsibility of the student to request that the Educational Testing
Service forward a copy of the official score report to the Office of Admissions.
If a student has a question about a test item, his/her score report, or any other aspect of a CLEP
examination that his/her test center cannot answer, write to: CLEP, PO Box 6600, Princeton, NJ 08541‐
6600 or visit http://www.collegeboard.org.
