Georgia State University CLEP Policy

Georgia State University awards credit for selected CLEP exams (see Georgia State University Approved CLEP Exams below). For credit to be granted, a minimum score of 50 must be achieved.

Please note: CLEP grades will not affect a student's GPA.

Geogia State University Approved CLEP Exams

Notes:

1) For History credit to be granted, both US History I and II exams must be taken.

2) The optional essay portion of all English exams is required in addition to the objective portion. Essay exams are reviewed by three readers, and the applicant must receive a grade of "PASS" or better from at least two readers in order to receive course credit.

3) If a student scores between 50-53 on the Spanish Foreign Language exams, three semester hours of credit will be awarded for the equivalent of 2001. For a score of 54 or higher, six semester hours of credit will be awarded for the equivalent of 2001-2002. If a student scores between 50-62 on the German exam, three semester hours of credit will be awarded for the equivalent of 2001. For a score of 63 or higher, six semester hours of credit will be awarded. For the French exam, a score of 50-51 will be awarded three semester hours of credit, and scores of 52 or higher will be awarded six semester hours of credit.

4) GRADUATING SENIORS: Tests should not be scheduled during the last semester before graduation due to the limited time for course validation and award of credit.

Questions regarding credit acceptance at Georgia State University should be directed to Elaine Jones, Office of Admissions, Sparks Hall at (404) 413-2042. Georgia State University students are also encouraged to consult with their academic advisor before registering for a CLEP exam.
