College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The University considers credit for most of the 30 specific subject CLEP exams providing the student has not previously attempted a similar course of study at a college level. Scores acceptable for credit are comparable to attaining a level of accomplishment equal to a C in a graded course situation with exception for language exams. Individual exams may earn a student three, six or eight semester credits depending on the nature and scope of the material covered. Credit is not granted for the general exams. Consult our UVM's CLEP Program .

Credit granted for CLEP Examinations may be applied toward distribution requirements and to the total semester credits specified for a particular degree program when approved by the dean of the college/school in which the student is subsequently a candidate for a degree. Information about CLEP is available at the Office of Transfer Affairs, 339 Waterman Building, (802) 656-0867 or email: transfer@uvm.edu .
