College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Credit

A student at Grambling State University may gain credit in a number of subjects by scoring on a Subject Examination at or above the level recommended by the College-Level Examination Program. The examinations are available at Louisiana Tech's Testing Center and are given on Wednesdays (10:00 AM and 3:00 PM). Registration must be filed in the Counseling Center three weeks prior to a test date. Applications are available in the LA Tech Counseling Center. Each test is 90 minutes in length. Scores are provided by Educational Testing Service with the exception of the Essay for College Composition which will be scored by the Grambling State University English Department. Students are graded on a pass/fail basis and must earn the minimum scores indicated for a passing grade. The grade is not computed in the student's cumulative grade point average nor does it replace an earned letter grade. Students may not attempt credit by examination more than once in a given course. The score in College Composition, excluding Essay, will take two to three weeks. Final score for college composition with Essay results (provided by Grambling State University) will take approximately four weeks. Credit by means of Subject CLEP Examinations is limited to 30 semester hours. Whether or not this credit is applicable to a student's degree program will be determined by those responsible for his academic program. Some of the Subject Examinations presently available and approved for Grambling State University, the course(s) for which they substitute, and the level of scoring needed on each for earning credit are given below.
