Examination performances are graded as pass or fail and are not computed into the student s grade point average. No credit from the CLEP General Examination will be applied to the Associate of Arts and Associate of Sciences degrees. Credit achieved in the Freshman English Subject Examination will be accepted at the discretion of individual academic divisions. Students should contact the appropriate dean before taking the examination. Subject to approval by the executive vice president, up to 30 credits from the CLEP exam may be applied to any area of the Associate of General Studies Degree .
Most departments offer the option of challenging courses.
However, not all courses may be challenged. The department head and dean determine whether a course is open to challenge. Currently enrolled students may obtain credit by satisfactorily passing comprehensive examinations for specific courses. Course challenge forms, stating the fee and grading options, are available at the Entry Services office. The form also outlines the steps that students need to take to challenge a course.
