Please Note: "Lower Level" refers to courses at the lower (100 and 200) level. Any test not listed will not be accepted for credit at UMCP. Students may not receive credit for both CLEP courses and for equivalent UMCP courses or transfer courses (including Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate). CLEP credit will be deleted in such cases. Applicable scores for a particular exam are those in effect when a student takes the exam. Contact your College Dean if you have questions.

Certain CLEP tests may be revised during the year. At the time this catalog was printed, information on the new verstions of those tests was not available. Changes are possible in UMCP credit acceptance for revised CLEP exams. Contact the Testing Office for up-to-date information, 301-314-7688.

Computer-based CLEP testing was implemented during 2003 for selected tests at selected test venues. Scoring procedures are changing. The scores above apply to NON-computer based testing. Departments will evaluate the new tests and scoring procedures as they become available. Some exams will be considered for credit on a case-by-case basis until review is complete. Contact an advisor or the Transfer Credit Center (tccinfo@umd.edu) for further information. Students who have matriculated at UMCP are encouraged to speak to their advisor about departmental or Advanced Placement Exams in addition to CLEP. All matriculated students must have permission of their college advisor to take CLEP tests. Students interested in taking MATH CLEP are encouraged to speak to the math advisor on campus, 301-405-4362.
