College-Level Exam Program (CLEP)
Catawba College recognizes the College-Level Exam Program (CLEP) and may grant credit for examination scores of 50 or higher as recommended by ACE. Students who wish to receive college credit for CLEP scores must submit an official score report to the Registrar’s Office. Credit awarded for CLEP work will have a grade of “S” recorded for the appropriate course on the student’s permanent record. The course will be shown on the transcript as credit awarded but will not be used in calculating the grade point average (GPA).
