Conditions Chadron State College places on CLEP credit
The listed CLEP awards come from Chadron's College Board policy, which does not state an effective catalog year or course equivalencies. The college requires enrollment and completion of CLEP before taking a college-level course in that discipline. Alternative-credit methods share a 40% credential maximum; educator-preparation programs have additional component rules. The current catalog header and footer show different years. Confirm the applicable policy, degree requirements and any lab requirement with Chadron before testing.
