SPECIFIC INFO FOR BSU STUDENTS: Ball State University grants appropriate credit to currently enrolled Ball State students who earn satisfactory scores on the subject examinations of the College level Examination Program (CLEP). You will not be awarded CLEP credit for subject examinations if you have been or are presently enrolled for credit or audit in an accredited university course that covers the subject for which CLEP credit is offered, nor may you repeat a subject examination within one year.
Currently enrolled Ball State students who wish to take a CLEP examination must contact the Office of Admissions for consideration and procedure information before making arrangements to take the test. Currently enrolled Ball State students who have taken a CLEP examination prior to enrolling at Ball State may have their records evaluated for CLEP credit by the Office of Admissions with final approval from the appropriate department chairperson.
