College Level Examination program (CLEP) Credit by Examination is a program allowing students the opportunity to gain academic credit for prior learning they have acquired by self-study or experience. Tests may be taken in many subject areas, and credit may be earned by achieving acceptable scores on these tests. Benefits include saving tuition dollars and shortening the time it takes to earn a degree. Approximately 2,900 postsecondary institutions now offer credit on the basis of CLEP examinations annually. The CLEP exams include General Examinations and Subject Examinations. Both are designed to measure factual knowledge and understanding, problem-solving ability, and mastery of college-level, introductory course content in a wide range of disciplines. CLEP test Facts: • A student who has failed to earn credit in an attempted college course will not receive Credit by taking the CLEP test in the same course. Neither will credit be granted to raise a grade earned in any course. • A maximum of 21 hours Credit by CLEP may be applied toward graduation. • Credits earned by examination may not be used as part of the terminal residency requirements (Last 30 hours in the major must be taken at Dillard University). • Students taking CLEP exams must be a Dillard University student to have the credit applied to DU. • Students attempting Credit by CLEP Examination in courses in which they are currently enrolled must do so before they have completed one month of the course. Credits that may be earned by taking the CLEP test listed on the following table.
