The colleges participate in the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), which is administered by the College Board. Candidates for admission who have been out of school five years or more and who have not attended college may receive degree credit based on the CLEP General Examination before their admission to the university. Students may earn a maximum of 24 credits for the General Examination, provided they score at or above the 50th percentile. Candidates for admission are granted degree credit for CLEP Subject Examinations approved by the colleges, provided they achieve a score at or above the 50th percentile.
