Credit By Examination

Students may earn credit by examination for satisfactory scores on the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), College Board Advanced Placement Examinations (AP), Tech Prep courses, and subject tests and challenge examinations. Credit is placed on the transcript the first semester the student enrolls at CC.

Credit by examination is exactly the same as successfully passing the equivalent CC course. ACT or SAT credit may be obtained for the following courses and scores.

Course	ACT	SAT
ENGL 1301	29-32	580-679
ENGL 1301 and 1302	32	680

International Baccalaureate

Clarendon College recognizes credit for international baccalaureate scores. With a minimum exam score of four in each subject area, CC will grant 24-semester hours of college credit to entering freshmen who have successfully completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Non-IB diploma holders with appropriate higher-level scores will have their courses evaluated for credit eligibility. Credit determinations are made on an individual basis. Contact the Office of Admissions for more information.

Evaluated Credit (Evaluation of Credentials)

Students may earn credit by an evaluation of various credentials, including by not limited to:

1. State or national board exams/certifications, (LVN, R.N., Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, etc.);
2. Non-traditional transcripts (hospital schools, cosmetology, etc.);
3. Nationally recognized tests or certifications;
4. Formal military training.

Students wishing to apply for Credit by Experience must fill out, attach necessary documentation and submit the Credit By Experience Application to the Registrar's Office. If at the conclusion of the process credit is awarded the course number, the course title, and the number of semester hours of credit will be recorded on the transcript.  No grade points are earned; credit may not be used to meet residency requirements.
