College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CLEP is a national program that offers students credit by computer-based examination. This allows students to have the opportunity to obtain recognition for achievement in specific college courses. ADP students are typically non-traditional students and it is important for them to have access to several mechanisms for earning credit.

 The following College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests receive the indicated credit for JMU Adult Degree Program (ADP) students. Please note, the CLEP US History I and II exams do not satisfy the US History general education requirements. ADP Students must take GPOS 225 or GHIST 225, or arrange for a departmental exam with the History Department. In addition, credit for CLEP exams is not awarded for a duplicate JMU equivalency course. For more information on CLEP Exams, please visit the CLEP website at http://clep.collegeboard.org.
