This program provides an opportunity to earn credit for previous education or life and career experiences. The CLEP tests may be taken prior to enrollment or during one’s college career. However, after enrolling at Mid-Continent a student must apply for permission to take the CLEP.
A list of exams and minimum score requirements is available in the Registrar’s Office and listed below. The Registrar supervises the CLEP tests on the Mid-Continent campus. Credit earned through successful completion of the CLEP examination may be used toward fulfilling Mid-Continent’s General Education Studies requirements. A student must be enrolled at Mid-Continent to receive credit based on satisfactory CLEP scores. A CLEP test may be repeated with permission. A minimum of 6 months must elapse between retakes of the same test. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that retake attempts meet this requisite. It is recommended that the student have prior approval from his advisor and/or chairperson of the department. CLEP registration forms may be obtained by accessing the Mid-Continent website. The following table depicts the required scores of all CLEP examinations.
