JSU will allow credit by examination to those students who have participated in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and who make a scaled score of 50 or above. Unless otherwise noted, a score of 50 will earn three (3) semester hours of credit. Students scoring 63 or above are typically awarded six (6) or more semester hours of credit. Acceptance of credits to a specific degree will be determined by the major department chair and dean of the college in which the student is enrolled.
