Language Other Than English – If a student passes more than one CLEP exam in the same language other than English (e.g., two exams in French), then only one exam may be applied to the baccalaureate. For each exam in a language other than English, a passing score of 50 is considered “Level 1” and earns six semester units of baccalaureate credit; the higher score listed for each exam is considered “Level II” and earns additional units of credit and placement in Area C2 or GE Breadth, as noted.
Transfer credits and number of units awarded for CLEP toward admission is determined by the CSU system. The CLEP chart is based on the most current information available at the time of catalog publication.
Each CSU campus determines how it will apply external examinations toward credit in the major pursuant to CSU Credit for Prior Learning Policy. Each CSU campus also determines how to apply credit from such exams toward the local degree requirements.
The CSU system-wide policy for CLEP credit, including how CLEP applies to CSU general education, can be found at calstate.policystat.com/policy/17947386/latest/.
Students should see a Counselor to review the applicability of CLEP credits toward different academic requirements. Students whose continuing student status started before Fall 2025 may be able to use CLEP toward CSUGE certification.
