Conditions Southern Utah University places on CLEP credit
Southern Utah University charges a $25 fee per exam on top of the College Board exam fee. Its published 16-credit ceiling applies to departmental test-out exams, not to CLEP. Scores and credit amounts here are set by the Utah Board of Higher Education's CLEP Exam Credit Table, which covers all eight of Utah's public degree-granting institutions and applies to exams taken between 1 July 2026 and 30 June 2027. Four exams — Humanities, Introduction to Educational Psychology, Social Sciences & History and Natural Sciences — have no standard system-wide equivalency: score 50 or higher and you may present the score to the college for an individual credit evaluation. College Composition Modular earns no credit anywhere in the system. The table covers exams taken by Utah students; a score presented from another state is evaluated by the college individually.
