College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Augustana will grant credit based upon successful completion of most College Level Examination Program Subject Matter Examinations. The University does not grant credit for CLEP General Examinations.

1. Augustana uses the recommended score for awarding credit as contained in the CLEP Subject Examination Policy.
2. Students may take these examinations either prior to or after enrolling at Augustana. Students who achieve the minimum passing score or higher will have the equivalent Augustana course noted on their transcript, with credit granted towards graduation requirements. When appropriate, they will also be excused from the corresponding course in the core requirements.
3. Augustana is an “closed” CLEP testing center making CLEP testing available to our students only.
