Conditions University of Alaska Fairbanks places on CLEP credit
UAF charges $120 for a CLEP exam and awards credit only to students who are currently or were previously enrolled in a degree programme. The credit does not count as UAF residence credit and is not counted toward full-time status. A general exam in mathematics, humanities, natural sciences or social sciences awards up to 6 credits, reduced by whatever credit you already hold in that discipline. UAF's language awards run semester by semester with their own scores, so ask the registrar for those.
