Contact Counseling Services at 140 Daugette Hall for an application and to register for the CLEP. It is the student's responsibility to ascertain eligibility for possible award of CLEP credit.

A student is not eligible to receive CLEP credit for course(s):

• if earned academic credit has been accepted by Jacksonville State University for that course.
• if course attempted by CLEP has been previously attempted at collegiate institution
• if those areas where earned academic credit for more advanced courses has been earned--resident transfer. If in doubt, consult with the Registrar's Office before you register for CLEP.
• by repeating CLEP examinations.
• if the CLEP examination offers two semester credit and earned academic credit for one of the semesters has been accepted by Jacksonville State University.
  

Test results are evaluated by the Registrar's Office and recorded on a student's transcript if credit is awarded. Semester hours of credit toward graduation are awarded on the basis of CLEP tests but no grades or quality points are given. Therefore, CLEP credits will not affect grade point average (GPA).
