CLEP Credit
If you’ve taken College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam, you might be eligible for course credit at UT Dallas. Take a close look at the information below to see how your CLEP exam score might convert to UT Dallas course credit.
CLEP Credit Disclaimer
- We recommend submitting a petition for CLEP credit during your first semester at UT Dallas, but no later than the first day of your graduating term.
- You’ll want to consider the benefits of accepting CLEP credit against the possible impact such credit might have on tuition rebate eligibility or success in future courses and course sequences.
- Since petitioning for credit happens after you’re admitted to UT Dallas, your CLEP credit will not count toward your transferable GPA or transfer hours for admissions.
- Any academic credits earned through the CLEP exam will be permanently added to your official UT Dallas transcript and cannot be removed.
- To petition for UT Dallas course credit, you’ll need to send us an official score report from the testing agency that gave the exam. UT Dallas does not accept CLEP exam credits listed on transcripts from other colleges or universities.
