Anyone may earn college credit by examination for acceptable scores on the CLEP. The
CLEP is computer based testing. All results are submitted to and evaluated by the
Offices of Admissions and Records, which place earned credit on students' transcripts.
CLEP credits do not affect a student's GPA. Scores are viewed on the computer after
the exam. Admissions and Records will send a letter approximately 3 weeks after receiving
passing CLEP score results. Passing scores for MTSU are equal to or greater than 50.
Visitor parking passes may be obtained by calling the Testing Services Office at 615-898-2863.
Please note that these passes are used for Green parking spaces only.
Important: Applicants must not have notation of the course on the official transcript for which
credit is recommended. If a student has a "W" or "F" in a course or is currently enrolled
and cannot drop without a grade, CLEP is not allowed. This includes both MTSU & transfer
records.
