Advance Placement and CLEP CreditSt. Mary's University offers a program of advance
placement and credit for people with special A student may earn up to 30 hours of college credit by taking the general examination of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) in the five basic liberal arts areas: English Composition; Humanities; Mathematics, (accepted as electives only); Science; and Social Science. Credit will be posted to a student's official record after he/she has enrolled and successfully completed one semester at St. Mary's University. Students matriculating at St. Mary's as freshmen, including transfer students with freshman status, must take the CLEP examination by the end of the sophomore year. Transfer students with sophomore or higher status must take the exam no later than their junior year. CLEP Testing is also available in French, German, and Spanish. Students may earn up to twelve semester hours of credit according to University standards for the exam. Only students getting twelve hours of credit in the same language are deemed to have satisfied the foreign language requirement of the core curriculum. Students receiving less than twelve hours must take appropriate courses to complete the requirement, e.g., students getting nine (9) hours must take Second Year Language II to complete the requirement. Students getting six hours will receive only elective credit for the elementary course and must take six hours of Second Year Language (I & II) to satisfy the foreign language requirement. In addition to these general examinations, students
may also elect to take specific course examinations, the PEP (Proficiency
Examination Program) exams or the College Board AP (Advance Placement)
exams. It is recommended that any advance placement testing be discussed
with a University admissions officer prior to testing to determine the
impact on a particular major field of study. St. Mary's University recognizes
credit given by other accredited colleges and universities for college
level courses taken in high school. The University accepts grades of C
or better as transfer credit. |
