Credit awarded will not affect a student’s grade-point average at Penn State. If credit is awarded, a student’s University record will carry notation of credit, but no grade will be recorded. Undergraduate students interested in receiving credit for CLEP exams should arrange to have their official grade reports sent to Undergraduate Admissions directly from CLEP. Please note that test availability from CLEP is subject to change, and students should confirm availability of an exam before preparing to take the exam. This evaluation of the credits awarded for College-Level Examination Program examinations is subject to change and may be reviewed and revised periodically by Penn State faculty. A second reader is then appointed.More Information about Credit for CLEP Exams
