Please note:
- A passing grade of 50 is required on the CLEP exam in order to receive credit at Suffolk County Community College. Level 2 (Intermediate) Language tests have a higher passing grade.
- You will not be given credit at Suffolk for a CLEP exam if you previously passed the course(s) at Suffolk or received transfer credit for that course.
- CLEP credit does not carry a letter grade nor is it computed as part of the student’s grade point average (GPA). It is identified on the transcript as CLEP credit for the particular course or subject area, in a manner similar to transfer credit.
- Students will receive a copy of the CLEP score on the day of the test, except for the College Composition exam. The College Board will mail a copy of the College Composition score to the student. In order for credit to be applied to the Suffolk transcript, you must indicate that you want the results of the CLEP exam sent to Suffolk County Community College.
- Students who have taken or wish to take a CLEP exam or other standardized exam not listed here may petition to have the exam evaluated for possible Suffolk credit. For further information, contact the Transfer Evaluation Office (transfercredits@sunysuffolk.edu).
- Please give us a month to post the credit on your Degree Works (College Composition exam may take longer). You will be notified by email when the credits have been posted.
*If you have successfully completed any of these courses, you must have a passing grade on the test. You will be awarded credit only for the course in which you have not already received a passing grade. Duplicate credit will not be awarded for a multi-course CLEP test. Example: You have credit for SPN101 but want to take the CLEP test for Spanish Language. If you pass the test, you will receive credit for only SPN102, or if you pass the higher level, SPN102 and SPN201.
