Policy Title: COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP) AND DSST SUBJECT STANDARDIZED TEST East Central Community College (ECCC) awards academic credit through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DSST Subject Standardized Test to students who are enrolled at ECCC who score at or above the fiftieth percentile on approved CLEP and DSST Subject Examinations. The College will also accept transfer academic credit from other colleges on either the General or Subject Examinations. ECCC is a testing center for the CLEP, but not DSST. A grade of “Z” is recorded for credit granted through CLEP and DSST. No quality points are granted and credits granted are not used in computing grade point average. Refer to POLICY 413.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR DEGREES and POLICY 413.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATES for graduation requirements. Credit granted by ECCC for CLEP and DSST scores may not transfer to other colleges or universities. Students should contact transfer institutions directly for their current CLEP and DSST acceptance and scoring policies. The College’s Healthcare Education division does not accept CLEP scores for students enrolling in healthcare programs. CLEP transfer credit is not counted towards minimum requirements for admission nor graduation for healthcare programs offered by the College.
