CLEP and DSST offer students the ability to earn college credit by taking examinations on the material covered in a particular course. LCCC does not award credit for general CLEP exams. The college grants the same amount of credit to students who earn satisfactory scores on exams as it grants to students who successfully complete the course. See the link below for tests offered at the Testing Center and credits awarded at LCCC for passing exams. Please note, LCCC does not accept all CLEP and DSST exams for credit as noted on the document. Please contact the Testing Center with questions.
To qualify for credit by examination at LCCC, a student must be enrolled at LCCC. Credit by examination may be used to fulfill all degree/certification graduation requirements except for the mandatory 15-credit hour residency requirement. All credits by examination will be indicated as Transfer Credit (TR). No letter grade is given. Credit will be awarded only for exams for which there is a direct equivalent LCCC course. Credit earned by examination will be subject to all policies as stated within the LCCC general catalog.
Students should be aware that not all colleges have the same policies regarding acceptance of credit by examination. If a student is transfer-bound, it is the student’s responsibility to find out whether credit by examination earned at LCCC will transfer to another institution.
