AP sends scores to the students and to DSU s Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Vice President s Office notifies the Registrar of the exam results and, if the scores meet or exceed DSU s standards, the Registrar enters the credit for the examinations on the students transcripts.

DSU credit will be granted only for passing scores the first time a CLEP subject examination is taken.
