College Level Exam Program (CLEP)
The College awards credit on the basis of scores on the CLEP Examinations for the scores indicated below. Find out how to take the CLEP exam on UofL's campus. Scores must be submitted to the Office of Admissions as soon as they are available. Visit CollegeBoard's website for more information.
Upon receipt of test scores the appropriate number of credit hours will be entered on the student's record. Test scores for new freshmen are received after the time of summer orientation/registration. Students will need to work with their academic adviser to ensure duplicate courses are not taken.
Courses that meet General Education requirements are denoted by a General Education Code.
