Conditions Mat-Su College places on CLEP credit
UAA awards CLEP credit as elective credit by default; if you want it to count as a specific course you need to work with the relevant department. Note that its language exams need unusually high scores — 55 for the first-level award and 72 for the second — and that Biology and Social Sciences & History need 58 rather than 50. This college is a campus of the University of Alaska Anchorage and shares UAA's catalog, so these figures are UAA's own published values rather than a separate policy.
