SCPS CLEP Competence Articulation
The following list correlates each CLEP exam with specific School for School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) competences in the Liberal and Lifelong Learning Areas. These are the only competences and exams students may submit in these areas. Exams not listed may not be used.
Students may submit an exam, whether listed or not, for a Focus Area competence. However, such an exam must be relevant to the focus area and students must get approval from their Academic Committee.
Each exam may be submitted for only one competence.
The ACE-recommended minimum score of 50 is required for submission and acceptance of all exams, except the following: French Language, Level 2, 62; German Level 2, 63; and Spanish, Level 2, 66.
These exams will be processed in the same manner as pre-approved transfer coursework, using SCPS' pre-approved log sheets.
Students transferring from SCPS to another college at DePaul must abide by the CLEP credit awards required by the college to which they are transferring.
