College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
In accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education, WSC accepts the results of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) for specific exams. If credit is earned after a student has achieved senior class status at WSC, only 6 of the last 30 baccalaureate hours may be completed through the use of such CLEP credit. WSC grants CLEP credit within these limitations:
General Examinations (College Math, Humanities, or Natural Sciences exams only)
- The examinee must meet the minimum ACE recommended score equivalent to a grade of “C.”
- Six hours of credit normally will be granted for successful completion of the humanities general exams.
Subject Examinations
- The examinee must meet the ACE recommended score equivalent to a grade of “C” on all recognized subject examinations. The subject examination in English will require an essay. To earn credit in biology and chemistry, the student must achieve the minimum scores and meet with the appropriate department chair or dean concerning lab requirements.
- The credit hours granted shall be the same amount granted for the completion of a similar course at WSC. The Holland Academic Success Center maintains the policies regulating CLEP credits accepted toward graduation at WSC.
