Transfer dilemma

I currently have CLEP’d out of 32 credits and plan on enrolling at my state university for the spring term. My question is do i have to take a physical course at the community college plus my CLEP credits ? or can i just apply for admission without ever enrolling at my local community college ? If i can apply directly would a issue arise from having no GPA ? I have searched high and low but can not find a answer. I feel like i am freaking out about nothing :slight_smile:

Call the college and talk to them. We would just be guessing.

Are you currently enrolled at that community college? If so, you need to speak with the counselors there and ask how transferring works if the student has only CLEP credits showing on the transcript.

You may find that you have to apply to the university as a freshman applicant using your high school records, and then ask to have the CLEP scores evaluated for credit there.

@happymomof1 did you read the OP? They asked:

No I’m not currently enrolled at the community college. That’s why I wasn’t sure if it matters whether you have the clep credits evaluated at the CC first. I guess this is a unusual situation haha. I didn’t bother with the CC because I knew I could do the work on my own. I will call Monday and update just in case someone else has a similar situation.

I will definitely call the university thanks for the reply =)

@Erin’s Dad - I sure did read it, and it made no sense to me. That’s why I worded my response that way.

@ZanziR - Since you have never enrolled in a community college, then what you need to do is apply to the college/university you are interested in. After you are admitted, you will need to find out who is the right person to present your CLEP scores to in order to receive credit for them. If you just want to know which CLEP scores are accepted by that college/university, check the website. You also need to know that even if all of the credits were accepted at a community college, if you were to transfer later to a 4-year institution, that place would re-evaluate the CLEP scores according to their own standards, and might not give you transfer credits for everything that the CC accepted.
