Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)
AP and CLEP credit are considered Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credit. Separate from the transfer credit policies, PLA credit has its own policy located in the academic catalog linked here.
Advanced Placement (AP)
Course credit for successful completion of Advanced Placement examinations administered by the College Entrance Examination Board to high school students will be granted to students presenting Advanced Placement examination grades of four (4) or higher. A letter grade of “P” will be assigned for credit granted. Because no grade is assigned other than “P,” no Quality Points will be awarded to count toward GPA. A grade of three (3) will exempt a student from the course.

College Level Exam Program (CLEP)
Students may earn college credit for certain examinations administered by the College Level Exam Program. To receive credit for a CLEP test, a minimum score must be earned (see Catalog for details). CLEP credit will be transcripted as course specific credit with a grade of “P.” Because no grade is assigned other than “P,” no Quality Points will be awarded to count toward GPA. CLEP credit will be identified as transfer credit from the College Level Exam Program.
