大学水平考试项目(CLEP)学分
The 大学水平考试计划(CLEP) gives students an opportunity to earn college credit for what they already know — for the fraction of the cost of a college course. Earning a qualifying score on one or more of the available exams can help students reach their academic goals, whether they are getting a head start on college or working to finish their degree.
Tri-C students who pass a CLEP exam with the minimum required score will earn college credit based on CLEP credit chart recommendations.
For general CLEP information, or to purchase a CLEP exam, visit the College Board CLEP website at http://clep.美国大学.org. It is recommended that students meet with an academic counselor prior to purchasing a CLEP exam to ensure that credit is applicable to their degree or certificate program.
