27 of 27 CLEP exams accepted
Conditions Eckerd College places on CLEP credit
Eckerd awards 3.5 semester hours — one Eckerd course unit — per CLEP exam at a minimum score of 50, "as recommended by the American Council on Education". CLEP credit is limited to 10.5 credits, or three exams, and all non-course credit combined may not exceed nine Eckerd course equivalents (31.5 semester hours). For College French, German and Spanish the chart gives a single entry covering Levels 1 and 2 with a range of 3.5-10.5 semester hours rather than a per-level figure. CLEP credit may not duplicate a course taken at Eckerd or accepted in transfer, and its use toward a major is at faculty discretion. International students may not use CLEP for elementary or intermediate world language credit in their native tongue.
