CLEP Credit

GUIDE TO: THE COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PREP (CLEP) CREDIT at the University of Wyoming

COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PREP (CLEP) tests give students coming to the University of Wyoming the chance to earn college credits and fulfill UW requirements before they begin their freshman year.

The chart shows all of the test subjects currently accepted at UW. It includes the minimum credit-earning scores, the names of the courses for which you can earn credit, and the number of hours which will be awarded.

If a test is not listed here and if you received a score of three (3) on an AP exam or forty (40) on a CLEP test, you may want to contact the appropriate department at UW in case credit may be awarded. Many tests are looked at on a student-by-student basis.

The University of Wyoming does not award credit for CLEP general exams.

The University of Wyoming Testing Center (307-766-2188) can schedule CLEP and other credit-earning tests.

The University of Wyoming offers a variety of ways to earn credit for past learning. Not only do we award credits for many AP, CLEP scores, and IB subjects, but we also encourage students to make use of other opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge of a subject.

Most academic departments offer course challenge exams for introductory level classes. Contact the appropriate departments for information about this possibility.

The University of Wyoming also offers portfolio assessment for learning outside an academic environment. Students, in cooperation with faculty in a specific department, prepare a portfolio documenting specific course requirements. The University normally limits credits earned through this process to 12 hours.

The University participates in the DEFENSE ACTIVITY FOR NONTRADITIONAL EDUCATION SUPPORT PROGRAM (DANTES).
