The District Assessment Department on the Raymond Campus administers the CLEP program. By successfully completing CLEP Subject tests, students may receive credit for college-level knowledge that they already possess. A listing of the courses for which ºÚÁÏÍø will award credit is printed in the ºÚÁÏÍø Catalog, although ºÚÁÏÍø administers all 35 CLEP subject examinations upon request.

A maximum of 18 hours of CLEP subject examination credit will be accepted by ºÚÁÏÍø, and scores must be at or above 50. A student must earn at least 12 hours of credit at ºÚÁÏÍø before CLEP credit may be recorded on his/her transcript.

No grades are granted for CLEP credit, and credits granted by CLEP scores are not used in computing the students’ grade point average.

CLEP credit is not accepted at all colleges and universities, so students desiring to take any CLEP subject area examination for transfer credit should consult with the transfer college before sitting for the examination.

Students desiring to sit for a CLEP examination should contact the District Assessment Center on the Raymond Campus at 601-857-3852 or 601-857-3384.

The cost of the CLEP test is $89 per test payable to CLEP by credit card. There is an additional $35 assessment fee that must be paid in the ºÚÁÏÍø Business Office.

The DSST Program is a nationally recognized testing program that gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for learning acquired outside the traditional classroom. ºÚÁÏÍø serves as a testing site for the DSST program.

All tests offered under the DSST program are available to the student. At the current time, ºÚÁÏÍø does not award college credit for courses taken under the DSST program; however, many transfer colleges and universities do utilize such credit. Students wishing to take a DSST examination should contact their transfer school before sitting for the examination to determine if the credits earned by this method will transfer.

To arrange a DSST examination, contact the Counseling Department on the Raymond Campus at 601-857-3467. The cost of a DSST test is $80 per test. There is an additional $30 assessment fee that must be paid in the ºÚÁÏÍø Business Office.
