Petitioning College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Credit
Petitioning examination of credit is recommended to be completed within the student's first term at UT Dallas, but not later than the first day of the student's graduating term. A first-year student must weigh the advantages of accepting college credit through examinations against the possible impact such credit might have on tuition rebate eligibility and their readiness for subsequent courses in an academic sequence.
UT Dallas must receive an official score report from the testing agency that provided the examination. UT Dallas does not accept examination credit from other higher education institutions' transcripts.
As credit is petitioned after admission, credit by examination is not considered as part of an applicant's transferable GPA or transfer hours for admissions. In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.968, The University of Texas at Dallas will award undergraduate course credit for achieving the required CLEP examination scores below.
Courses shown in green meet Texas Core Curriculum requirements.
