CLEP is a national testing program sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). NDSU accepts official score reports for the Subject Examinations only.

According to North Dakota University System policy, a minimum score of 50 is required to receive credit for CLEP subject examinations. If NDSU does not have an equivalent course, free elective credit may be awarded. A complete and current listing of CLEP subject examinations and their NDSU equivalent courses is available at http://www.ndsu.edu/prospective_students/about/credit_by_exam.shtml#CLEPChart.

The following CLEP policies apply at NDSU:

1. The Subject Examination should be taken prior to enrollment in the equivalent or more advanced college-level course.
   
   
2. Scores from a Subject Examination may not be used to establish credit for a course previously taken and failed or for a course in which the student is currently enrolled.
   
   
3. Six months must elapse before a Subject Examination may be repeated.
   
   
4. Credit earned through CLEP is not residence credit and may not be used to satisfy residence-credit requirements for graduation.
