Hello I’m a part time freshmen in college right now and wanted to know if i took CLEP’s and passed while taking the class would I be excuse from class the rest of the semester? will the class just be dropped? Will the grades in those classes still affect me?
This is a question for your college’s registrar to answer. There is no firm, correct answer because every college can set their own CLEP policy. First, does your college even accept/grant CLEP credit? If they do, do they allow for any of the CLEP exams or just specific ones?
Once you take a CLEP exam, in all cases but one exam you receive an immediate score. But your school does not receive this score for at least a week longer, plus however long it takes the registrar’s office to apply it to your academic record. This is another reason why it would be important to have a talk with the registrar (or someone knowledgeable about their CLEP policy) first, before taking any exam.
