College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) provides students the option of earning college credit without enrolling in college courses. You can take one or more examinations which measures knowledge of subject areas taught in many colleges as freshman or sophomore level courses. CLEP provides an opportunity to save both time and money in earning a college education. It helps you demonstrate the knowledge you have acquired and provides Wayne State College (WSC) with the information needed to recognize and reward that knowledge.

To receive college credit at WSC you must either be currently enrolled or have completed admission requirements. The program is particularly beneficial for the following students:

1. High school students who have demonstrated average or better preparation for college at the time of admission. CLEP studies have shown a high correlation between high school GPA, ACT scores and performance on the individual examinations. NOTE: CLEP is not the same as Advanced Placement (AP). If you have taken AP classes, go to the information on Advanced Placement page to see more about the WSC Policy on AP.

 

2. Freshman or sophomore level Wayne State College students who want to by-pass classes which are required for graduation but unrelated to their major field of study.

 

3. Adult students who have sharpened their knowledge of particular areas through general self-study, on-the-job training, or in other ways.

 

4. Transfer students who have completed course work at another college but find that it is not transferable to Wayne State College.

To learn more about this opportunity, follow this link to the CLEP website. Download a CLEP Brochure or CLEP Poster, or see the information below below for tests offered at WSC.

*CLEP No Show Policy: Students failing to show up for a scheduled examination will have an opportunity to reschedule to a future examination date. A second "no show" automatically forfeits CLEP fees to the Wayne State College Counseling Center. It will be the student's responsibility to contact the College Board about fee refunds for CLEP examinations.
