CLEP

Bethel University generally follows the guidelines listed by CLEP and the College Board.

General Examinations: Credit will be entered on the permanent record in the same format that transfer credit from other institutions is entered. The record will indicate that the credit is for the College Level Examination Program and the specific examination for which credit is given will be listed with the hours of credit granted. See registrar for list of courses and credits.

Traditional students pursuing a bachelor’s degree may not obtain credit toward graduation via CLEP examinations in their last 30 hours. Additionally, traditional students pursuing an associate’s degree may not obtain credit toward graduation via CLEP examinations in their last 18 hours.

Subject Examinations: Courses where no CLEP examination is available and are offered as specific classes applicable to a program at Bethel, may be eligible to receive credit through local testing (credit by examination). The amount of credit awarded is determined by the course credit that is being replaced.
