Credit by National Examination

Mid-State Technical College staff will review test results from the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), subject examinations, the American College Testing Proficiency Examination Program (ACT PEP) and Advanced Placement (AP) exams for possible credit toward the completion of an associate degree or a technical diploma. Credit toward a degree or diploma completion will be awarded only for courses that fulfill a published MSTC graduation requirement or that are an acceptable degree elective at Mid-State Technical College.

College staff will use the guidelines published by the testing agencies to identify appropriate test scores for credit recognition. Students must provide MSTC with an official, sealed transcript of test results from the testing agency for a review to occur. Credit awarded for successful performance on a CLEP, AP or ACT PEP test will appear on an MSTC transcript as "CE" for "Credit by Examination." This credit will not be part of a student's grade point average calculation. The appropriate academic Division Dean is responsible for the final decision on the recognition of credit based on CLEP, or ACT PEP scores.
