4 of 4 CLEP exams accepted
Conditions Merrimack College places on CLEP credit
The college's published chart is dated April 30, 2013. Scores of 50 and higher are 'reviewed for credit'. Exams should be taken before the start of junior year and no later than the start of senior year. For the language exams the two bands are cumulative: the higher band's 12 credits include the courses covered by the lower band's 8, so a student earns 12 credits in total, not 20 (Merrimack courses are 4 credits each). Students pursuing a language minor must take at least half of their course requirements at Merrimack and must take a minimum of three courses beyond their CLEP transfer credits. Official score reports should be sent to code 3525.
