ADVANCED PLACEMENT and OTHER STANDARDIZED EXAMS
Caldwell College offers advanced placement and/or credits to students who qualify by earning scores of 3 or higher on the Advanced Placement (AP) tests administered by the College Board.
The College recognizes CLEP credit for both general and subject tests which evaluate achievement at the college level in areas of the liberal arts education. Caldwell College also accepts DANTES, TECEP, ACT-PEP, and selected other standardized examination scores. Credit awarded towards the major field of study is dependent upon departmental approval. CLEP credits are not accepted for duplicated course work.
A maximum of 30 credits will be accepted through all combined options of testing. Credit by examination will only be awarded within the first year (30 credits) of matriculation. Students are reminded that the last 30 credits must be taken at Caldwell College.
A fee is charged for processing credit by examination.
