College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Credit is awarded for scaled scores of 50 or higher on computer-based CLEP exams taken after July 1, 2001. A percentile score of 50 or higher is required on CLEP examinations taken prior to July 1, 2001. CLEP credit may be earned by CLEP subject examinations. Successful completion of CLEP examinations means performance at or above the minimum qualifying score. CLEP credit cannot be used to reduce a grade point deficiency. For example, CLEP cannot be substituted for a grade awarded for a previously completed course. CLEP may not be used to fulfill the senior institution requirements.

Awarding of CLEP credit is subject to the conditions listed below.

• Credit may be awarded in the CLEP subject examination area, provided the student:
1. is not within 60 credit hours of graduation;
2. has not previously received comparable college course credit in the CLEP examination area;
3. does not receive comparable college credit in the CLEP examination area in the same term the examination is taken or in a subsequent term;
4. has not previously completed, failed, nor received credit by UCF (transfer or otherwise) in a more advanced course in the examination area; and
5. does not complete nor receive credit by UCF (transfer or otherwise) in a more advanced course during the term in which the CLEP examination is taken.

The table labeled College Level Examination Program provides information related to the CLEP examination areas and subtest areas for which credit may be awarded. In addition, this table delineates the minimum qualifying score and the UCF course for which each examination can substitute.

CLEP Language Examinations

A score of 50 on any of the language exams earns a minimum of one semester (3 credits) of Elementary Language I or equivalent level (generally numbered 1120C). A score at or above the second CLEP threshold level (currently 62 for French, 63 for German, or 66 for Spanish) earns a minimum of two semesters (6 credits) of Elementary Language I and II or equivalent level (generally numbered 1120C-1121C). No literature credit should be awarded for CLEP foreign language exams.
