The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national system of credit by examination. To view U of A information for CLEP exams, see the U of A Policy for CLEP Credit.
Note that the University will not award credit for a CLEP exam if you already have credit for a higher level math course.
What do I need to do to add the next U of A Math course based on my Math credit? If your credits are not in the U of A system, make sure you send an unofficial score report to the Math Placement Office.
If you haven’t already, send an Official Score Report to the U of A Registrar through the College Board CLEP Program site.
