Credit for national standardized test results
Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)
MCC may award specific course credit for subject examinations in fulfillment of current program requirements. For consideration of college credit, students need to have an official national exam score report mailed to:
Metropolitan Community College
Attn: Records
P.O. Box 3777
Omaha, NE 68103-0777
The following limitations exist for credits awarded by testing and experience:
- Credit granted does not apply toward fulfillment of MCC’s residency requirement for graduation.
- Credit for documented work experience is only available for classes listed in the current College catalog.
- Work experience credit is not available for any course for which a proficiency exam exists.
- Credit earned through documented work experience or course proficiency examinations are generally not transferable to another institution on a course-by-course basis.
Students with questions regarding awarding credit as an alternative to attending classes should contact an advisor at 531-622-2400.
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Although MCC does not administer CLEP testing, students with CLEP credits from other institutions may submit those credits for consideration of college credit in fulfillment of MCC program requirements. While the credits count toward graduation, the score is not used in the calculation of a grade point average. Credit granted does not apply toward fulfillment of MCC's residency requirement for graduation. Students wishing to submit CLEP test scores for consideration need to have an official exam score report mailed to:
Metropolitan Community College
