COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP).

(See also TRANSFER CREDITS.)

Students may earn college credit through CLEP, provided that CLEP examinations have been taken before the student has been granted B.A./B.S. degree-seeking status at UMW.  B.A./B.S. students cannot receive CLEP credit for exams taken after matriculation at UMW.  B.L.S. degree candidates are eligible for CLEP credit any time before earning 30 credits in alternative credit testing and before earning 90 transfer credits toward the degree.  CLEP is designed for the student who has gained knowledge in a subject area through means other than formal academic coursework.  The University grants credit for selected Subject Examinations if predetermined satisfactory scores are achieved.  B.A./B.S credit is not granted for any of the General Examinations.  The B.L.S. program awards credit for all the General Examinations and appropriate Subject Examinations when the scores earned are in the fiftieth percentile or higher (the TOTAL score must be reflected as 50 or higher).  A maximum of 30 credits can be earned through CLEP towards a B.L.S. degree.  Credits earned through CLEP can count toward the Major Program and General Education requirements, or can be scored as elective credits.

NOTES: 

1. CLEP credits will be forfeited and removed from the record if the equivalent course or courses are completed at UMW or another institution (and transferred into UMW for credit).
2. CLEP credits are counted as completed credits toward graduation, and thus affect all decisions regarding probation, suspension, and dismissal. 
3. A student may request the permanent deletion of CLEP credits from his or her record at any time except when he or she is on academic suspension or after academic dismissal.
