Credit by Examination/CLEP and DSST Credit

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a way to earn credit for comprehensive knowledge you may have acquired through independent or prior study, cultural pursuits, work, or other life experiences. If you successfully pass the CLEP tests, you may receive credit for completing certain certificate or degree requirements.

Clover Park Technical College (CPTC) accepts the following subject tests when passed with the recommended American Council on Education (ACE) score: College Mathematics, College Algebra, Introductory Psychology, and English Composition. Information about CLEP tests and testing sites can be obtained on the College Board website at www.collegeboard.com.

DSST (formerly known as DANTES Subject Standardized Tests) is also accepted as a way to earn credit for prior knowledge or experience. The subject must be equivalent to CPTC courses and will be accepted according to the ACE recommendations for passing and credit value. Information about DSST tests and testing sites can be obtained online at www.dantes.doded.mil.
