Generally, the minimum scores reflect the “B” level score determined by the A.C.E. in a 2000 study.
The content of CLEP exams does not necessarily correspond to the content of the CCC course for which
credit may be granted.

A sophomore dual elementary education and music education major, Sarah keeps a busy schedule at CCC, but enjoys the depth of Biblical knowledge
that she is learning. She truly believes that God led her to CCC and is excited to share about her experience. "When asked to explain my experience
at CCC, the first thing that comes to mind is that it feels like home. I am surrounded by godly, caring people on a daily basis. This has brought
a lot of healing into my life. God continues to bless me in unforeseen ways, including a variety of jobs, leadership opportunities, and being a
double major. I am thankful that God led me here for such a time as this."

CCC Policies for Awarding CLEP Credits
Each college develops their policies for awarding credit through examination. The key components of our policy are
- Credit consideration is based on an examination of official CLEP results provided by the College Board.
- The College accepts a maximum of 24 semester hours of credit through CLEP, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate program.
- No CLEP credits will be awarded once the student has earned 60 hours toward their program of study.
- Scores from CLEP General and Subject area tests in English and Freshman Composition must be received prior to the student's initial course registration.
- The College will award college credit based on whether test results coordinate with course found in the College's curriculum.
- CLEP credit awarded for transfer students will be based on CLEP score results and not credit posted on a college transcript.
- Awarded credit is based on minimum score requirements set by the Registrar's office.
