The University may grant up to 30 semester hours credit through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The specific University of Pikeville course equivalency and number of credits earned will be determined by the University Registrar in consultation with appropriate faculty and the appropriate academic Dean.
Conditions which apply to credit by examination are:
- Only admitted students are eligible for credit by examination.
- Credit earned by examination is recorded with a letter grade of “P”; hence, it has no effect upon the student’s overall grade point average.
- A student may attempt to earn credit by examination in a particular course only once.
- Students wanting to earn credit by examination in a course previously attempted and failed, must have approval from the Dean of the appropriate college/school.
- A student may not take a CLEP examination for a course in an area in which advanced course
work has been completed. - A student who has completed sixty semester hours or more must have the approval of the appropriate academic Dean before attempting a general CLEP examination. Information about CLEP credit may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
- Students requesting CLEP examination credit should refer to the Financial Information section of the University of Pikeville Catalog for applicable fees.
