FAQ:

1. What are the conditions for CLEP Subject examinations?

• Credit will be granted only if the student enrolls at MSU and earns 9 hours credit in residence.
• Credit earned by examination while enrolled at MSU may not be used to meet the minimum residence requirement for that degree or for honors awarded at graduation.
• Credit by CLEP examination assumes that the student has had no formal classroom instruction, as an enrolled student or as an auditor, in the course he is requesting to challenge for credit.
• There is a six month waiting period before repeating an exam.
• The Midwestern State University catalog states, "Credit by examination assumes the student has had no formal classroom instruction, as an enrolled student or as an auditor, in the course being challenged."  Be advised that if you have either taken the course being challenged or are currently taking the course being challenged, then you are ineligible to take a CLEP test for the purpose of credit-by-examination.
