Earn college credit for what you already know.
You can receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any one or more of the 34 CLEP examinations. LCCC and more than 2,900 colleges and universities in the United States will recognize your comprehensive subject knowledge acquired through independent or prior study, cultural pursuits, special interests and professional development.
Satisfactory scores on CLEP exams can earn you 30 college credits or more--a whole year's worth of full-time study. The cost to take a 90-minute CLEP exam is $75, which is a fraction of tuition cost.
Who can take CLEP examinations?
CLEP examinations are available to everyone, including LCCC students, high school students and the general public. This is a great way to get a fast start on your college education or to increase your existing college credits.
CLEP credit acceptance
Each college and university sets its own CLEP policy regarding how much credit will be granted and for what courses. If you are planning to attend a different educational institution, be sure to check with the institution's admissions office to ensure CLEP credit acceptance. Questions you should ask are:
-
Does the college recognize CLEP examinations in the subjects you want?
-
What score do you need to get credit for the equivalent course?
-
Does earning CLEP credit allow you to skip one or more introductory courses?
-
Are there additional requirements before credit is granted?
