Process for Transferring CLEP Credits to College?

I've taken some CLEP exams and earned credits. How can I transfer these credits to my future college? Are there particular steps I need to follow or specific colleges known for accepting CLEP credits easily?

Transferring CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) credits does have a process, but it's usually not too complicated. Here are the steps you'll most likely have to follow:

1. Research Your Prospective Schools: Not all colleges accept CLEP credits, so the first step is to find out if your target schools accept them. You may find this information on the school's website, usually under the 'Registrar' or 'Admissions' pages. Additionally, the College Board’s CLEP website has a search tool that provides information about schools' CLEP policies.

2. Understand The College’s CLEP Policy: Some colleges only accept certain CLEP exams, and must specify a minimum score that you must have achieved. You might find that some universities limit the amount of CLEP credits you can apply toward your degree. Make sure you are aware of these details.

3. Send Your CLEP Transcripts: Contact the College Board and request that your CLEP transcripts be sent to your intended college. There is a fee associated with sending each transcript. When you decide to transfer credits, you'll have to pay this fee for each college to which you want to send your credits.

4. Follow-Up: Make sure to follow up with your school to confirm they received your transcripts and to discuss the next steps. This may vary by college and could mean a conversation with a faculty advisor or the credits being automatically applied depending on the school's policy.

Remember, the acceptance of CLEP credits may not only depend on the policy of the school but also on your specific major or program.

To your second question, while there's no definitive list of colleges known for accepting CLEP credits easily, typically more flexible institutions like community colleges, online colleges, and adult learning programs tend to be very receptive to CLEP credits. But you'd still need to check the particular school's policy.

Remember, just because a school accepts CLEP credits, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll apply to your degree program in the way you want, so be sure to make these inquiries ahead of time before setting your college course.
