Conditions College of Southern Nevada places on CLEP credit
CSN treats CLEP as a type of challenge examination, and no more than 15 credits toward a degree may be earned that way -- well below the roughly 100 credits its chart lists. Only currently enrolled students may take challenge exams, so you cannot bank this credit at CSN before you enrol. CSN does not accept College Composition Modular, though it administers the exam for other colleges. Its language exams need a 70 for the second level, well above the usual 50. There is a $25.00 non-refundable fee per course challenged, and CSN directs you to your degree counselor for the maximum CLEP credit your particular program allows.
