College-Level (CLEP) Credit

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests are nationally recognized exams developed by the College Board that allow students to receive credit in subject areas in which they have expertise from previous experiences or studies. The complete list of courses for which Athens Technical College accepts CLEP credit is available on the college’s Testing Services website. To receive CLEP credit, the exam scores must be at the 50th percentile or higher. Applicants must have official test scores mailed directly from the College Board to Athens Technical College.  CLEP credit is designated on the transcript as TR, is included in a student’s earned hours, and is not calculated into the student’s grade point average. New or currently enrolled students who wish to gain college-level credit for a course for which a CLEP exam is available will need to register for the exam on the College Board website at http://clep.collegeboard.org/register/exam. 

Students should direct questions to registration@athenstech.edu about CLEP credits.
