CLEP Acceptance Policy and Exam Scores

Notes and Limitations

  1. CLEP exams are considered restricted electives within the Associate in Arts and Sciences degree. A student may not have more than 15 credits of restricted electives within the 90 required for the degree.
  2. All exams are transcripted as course credit with a "P" grade, so that they can be used as prerequisites for advanced courses. The credits are subject to the course repeat policy and will only be posted in a quarter in which the student is enrolled.
  3. Students who intend to transfer to Western Washington University should be aware that WWU will not accept courses within the distribution areas graded "P/NC".
  4. Olympic College does not grant credit for CLEP examinations that are not on the list below.
