CLEP Credits

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams test mastery of college-level material acquired through instruction, independent study, or extracurricular work.

While the University of South Carolina grants credit for certain CLEP exams, our minimum score requirements are different from the ACE recommendations. CLEP exams cannot be retaken for passing credit. For more on the University of South Carolina’s policy on CLEP exams, refer to the Exam Credit section of the Undergraduate Admissions Policies and Procedures bulletin.

 

CLEP Scores

Please send score reports directly to: 
Office of the University Registrar
University of South Carolina

Columbia, SC 29208

The CLEP code for the University of South Carolina is 5818

The CLEP score requirements for Financial Accounting, Introductory Business Law, Principles of Management, and Principles of Marketing are based on the date the University receives the official score report, not when the exam is completed. 

USC only accepts CLEP score reports directly from College Board in the official paper format via mail delivery. Transcript delivery typically takes 10–14 business days.

Score requirements are subject to change without notice. For more information about CLEP exams, please visit clep.collegeboard.org.
