THE COLLEGE-LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) was founded by the College Boards and the Carnegie Corporation in

1967 to help adult students begin or continue their educations. The program tests people on knowledge acquired in a

variety of ways: in school, at work, in the military, or through reading and personal experience. University College

accepts CLEP credits toward the Associate in Arts degree or Bachelor of Science degree. For specific information, contact

University College at (314) 935-6700.

The tests are administered in St. Louis at official CLEP Testing Centers. For further information about times and places to

take the test, visit the CLEP Test Center Search at

Individuals who take the test and wish to apply for credit through University College should have the results sent to:

University College

Washington University

One Brookings Drive

Campus Box 1085

St. Louis, MO 63130

University College will grant credit to students for successful completion of the College Level Examination

Program (CLEP) tests under the following conditions:

CLEP credit applies only to students admitted to an Associate in Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in University

College. A maximum of 30 units (credits) (maximum 24 units can be applied to an A.A. degree) can be earned

through CLEP testing. Test credit cannot be used for residency purposes.

The minimum credit-granting score for CLEP tests is a “50,” which represents a letter grade of “C.” A maximum

of three (3) units credit may be earned per examination.

CLEP credit will not be allowed when a student has received credit for a more advanced or comparable course in

the subject. For example, credit will not be allowed for the College Algebra examination if the individual is

currently enrolled in, or has ever completed Algebra or a more advanced math course.

CLEP credit may be awarded for examinations taken prior to admission in University College, but those scores

will not be reviewed until students have been admitted to an associates or bachelor’s degree in University

College. Students who wish to have previous CLEP test scores evaluated for credit in University

College; or Students who are preparing to take the CLEP test must complete the Request to

Determine Eligibility Form. (Click here for Form)

The CLEP tests must be taken and scores received by University College prior to the beginning of the student's

final semester. Credit will not be granted for tests taken during the student's final semester in University

College.
