CLEP Testing
College Level Examination Program
Please note that CLEP tests may not be used to meet Goshen College CORE requirements, and credit is not granted for CLEP tests that substantially overlap with courses that you have already completed or in which you are currently enrolled. The table of scores, credit, and equivalents at the link below was updated in April 2016, in response to new recommendations by the American Council on Education. Scoring and credit that varies from ACE recommendations reflect the actions of Goshen College faculty members.
Goshen College accepts CLEP exams on an individual basis for Goshen College students. Please contact area locations that offer the exams. When registering for the test, choose to have the score sent to GC.
