College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CCC will accept credit for CLEP subject exams provided the student has successfully completed the exam(s) and has requested that credit be placed on the transcript. A list of approved CLEP subject exams is available in the Registrar’s office.

The student has the right to ask that the results of the CLEP exam not be included on the transcript, and the exam will not be used to satisfy graduation requirements. Credits received for CLEP exams may not be used for financial assistance eligibility.

If the student does choose to include a CLEP Exam, the transcript will indicate the exam used to earn the credit. Credit hours will be placed on the transcript with a "P" for a passing grade and counted toward graduation requirements.

CCC does not guarantee the transferability of any credits received via the CLEP examination.

A student will receive credit comparable to the courses offered by CCC as indicated by this policy.

The student must complete 15 credit hours at CCC before any CLEP credits can be placed on the transcript. A maximum of 12 credit hours earned from CLEP exams may be included on the transcript for credit.

The College will not require additional testing to verify the results of a CLEP exam. CCC is not a test site. The student will pay all costs related to administering CLEP exams.

The Kansas Board of Regents has approved the following CLEP exams. All exams require a minimum score of 50 for transfer credit.
