Are CLEP credits recognized by the commission on higher education?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Only if they meet specific criteria

  4. Sometimes, based on the institution

The correct answer is: Yes, always

The recognition of CLEP (College Level Examination Program) credits by the commission on higher education is not absolute and varies depending on specific criteria set by individual institutions. While some colleges or universities may accept CLEP credits as part of their academic credit offerings, this acceptance is not universally guaranteed across all institutions. Therefore, the answer indicating that CLEP credits are always recognized is misleading. The correct understanding aligns with the choice that states CLEP credits are only recognized if they meet specific criteria established by the institution. This typically involves factors such as the subject matter of the CLEP exam, the passing score achieved by the student, and the credit transfer policies of the receiving institution. Each institution has its own policies regarding the acceptance of CLEP credits based on their academic standards and degree requirements. Understanding this ensures clarity for students seeking to use CLEP exams as a means to earn college credit, emphasizing that they should consult the policies of the specific institutions they are interested in to determine if CLEP credits will be recognized.
