A maximum of 24 semester hours of credit may be earned by successfully completing the CLEP General Examinations provided that the credit does not represent a duplication of credit previously earned. No credit is awarded for the English section of the General Examination. Appropriate credit will be awarded for the successful completion of the subject examinations. At Pittsburg State University, credit is awarded for scores at or above the 50th percentile. Also see College Level Examination Program under Enrollment Regulations .
Departmental examinations are available for both placement and credit.
Some examinations are given routinely while others are available by special arrangement. During each enrollment period, the Department of English schedules the examination for English Composition. Students with no credit in English Composition are invited to write this examination for possible credit in ENGL 101 English Composition. All entering students are to take a mathematics assessment for determining entry level. This assessment is scheduled through the mathematics department or during Freshmen Orientation.
