Conditions Johnson and Wales University places on CLEP credit
Johnson & Wales accepts the ACE recommended CLEP score of 50, but each academic department decides which JWU course an exam is equivalent to, and JWU publishes no list of its own — so confirm your specific exam with the university first. Credit is awarded only where the equivalent JWU course counts toward your degree. All prior-learning credit combined is capped at 30 semester credits for a bachelor's degree and 15 for an associate, it cannot be used to meet residency requirements, and prior-learning assessments carry a fee. Foreign language CLEP exams may be used only for language requirements, and the Physician Assistant programme does not accept CLEP at all.
