College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
CLEP allows students to earn credit toward graduation by attaining Tech’s qualifying score on the examinations. Credit earned through CLEP may be used to satisfy general education requirements.
It is recommended that an ACT sub-score of 24 or above or an SAT sub-score of 500 or above be used as a guideline for attempting to earn credit through CLEP. Following are the CLEP examinations that Tech will accept, the corresponding qualifying score required, and credit awarded.
