CLEP

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP®) is a national system of credit by examination. Examinations are administered each month through Testing Services, located in the Grimsley Hall Testing Center, Room 126, on the Dothan Campus.

It is the student’s responsibility to confirm acceptance of credit with the appropriate transfer institution, as most institutions have a set policy for awarding CLEP® credit.  Wallace Community College (WCC) accepts up to 32 semester hours of college credits based on acceptable standard scores on CLEP®. Credit is awarded based on minimum scores for awarding credit as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). Questions regarding specific CLEP® credit at WCC should be directed to the Director of Enrollment Services/Registrar, Grimsley Hall, room 110, or at (334) 556-2470. (WCC CLEP Policy)
