Conditions University of West Alabama places on CLEP credit
French, German and Spanish are awarded in two bands: a score of 50 earns 8 hours, and a score of 62 earns those 8 hours plus a further 8 — eight hours of foreign-language electives in French and German, and SP 201 and SP 202 in Spanish. The Introductory Psychology entry lists a score of 50 for PY 100 but publishes no credit-hour figure, unlike every other entry. Values come from the university's 2025-2026 General Catalogue. Alabama sets no statewide CLEP standard, so these are the institution's own.
