6 of 6 CLEP exams accepted
Conditions University of Rhode Island places on CLEP credit
URI publishes credit amounts for the CLEP general examinations but leaves the minimum score to each academic department, so scores show a dash and can change without notice; ask the department before you sit an exam. Take them early: general-examination credit is available only while your total earned credit stays at or below 45, and matriculated students must get their academic dean's approval before taking a CLEP exam. Subject examinations are accepted too, but each department decides its own score and credit amount, so URI publishes no chart for them. Scores must be sent to URI directly from the College Board even if you test on campus, and the campus testing centre serves enrolled URI students only.
