VCU CLEP equivalency 

VCU students planning to take a CLEP exam should refer to the policies in the VCU Bulletin and on the Campus Learning Center website, as well as discuss the decision with their academic advisor, before registering for an exam.

Among other rules, a student may not attempt a subject or general examination if it duplicates in part, or full, any VCU course or combination of courses that the student has already completed or enrolled in for credit. This includes courses for which a student enrolls but subsequently withdraws and receives a grade of W. Also, a maximum of 54 semester credits can be earned through CLEP examinations.

Deadlines for Graduating Students: CLEP exams taken to fulfill requirements for graduation must be taken prior to the start of the next term. May graduates must take CLEP exams before Summer Session begins. August graduates must take CLEP exams before Fall semester begins. December graduates must take CLEP exams before Intersession begins.

Passing scores on the CLEP exam are equivalent to credit in these VCU courses:

General regulations, equivalency list and optional essay requirements are subject to change as review of curriculum necessitates. Credit is awarded on the general examinations based on the recommendations of the Commission on Educational Credit and Credentials of the American Council on Education.

**Psychology and education majors should consult with their adviser before registering for this exam.
