Conditions Salve Regina University places on CLEP credit
Salve Regina awards CLEP credit to matriculated undergraduates, and to transfer students for exams taken before enrolling. The chair of each academic department decides how many credits a request actually earns, so treat the published chart as the starting point rather than a guarantee. A minimum of 30 of the 120 credits for a bachelor's degree must be taken at Salve Regina and may not come from credit by examination, which effectively limits all outside credit — CLEP, transfer, AP, IB and dual enrollment together — to about 90 credits. The Chemistry award does not include the lab component: the labs are 1 credit each and must be completed at Salve Regina or satisfied by a departmental exam. There is a separate 15-credit ceiling on college credit earned while in high school, and no duplicate credit is given where you already hold transfer, course or exam credit for the same area.
