Subject Examination
Each academic school of the college may recognize the Subject Examination if a single examination measures the competency associated with the successful completion of a specific Irvine Valley College course. Generally, however, specific course credit by examination will be attained through the Specific Course Credit policy.
Credit for CLEP is awarded upon completion of 12 units in residence at Irvine Valley College. Additional information regarding the College Level Examination Program may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records.
Credit granted on the basis of CLEP does not necessarily transfer to other colleges. Students planning to use CLEP credit for college transfer purposes will need to consult the transfer institution regarding its policy pertaining to the CLEP program.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP): CSU GE-Breadth Credit
- A minimum score of 50 is required for CLEP credits to be granted, except French Level II (59), German Level II (60), and Spanish Level II (63).
- If a student passes more than one CLEP test in the same language other than English (e.g. two tests in French), only one test may be applied to the baccalaureate. A passing score of 50 is considered “Level I” and earns six units of baccalaureate. The higher score is considered “Level II” and earns additional credit and placement in Area C2 of CSUGE, as noted.
