occurred in a nontraditional manner.

for which credit is allowed by examination will appear on the
transcript with a listing that credit is by CLEP® exam.

is strongly recommended that students use the CLEP®-Official Study
Guide located in the Success Centers prior to taking the exam to
assist in preparation for the exam. In addition, prior to issuing a
transcript, an application for admission to the college must be
completed and submitted to the Admissions Office. Credit is granted
only after 12 or more credits have been earned in residence.

student may take subject and /or general examinations, provided credit
has not been received for any courses in that area prior to taking the
exam. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Registrar.
Students who wish to take the CLEP® exam should consult a counselor or
registrar to insure that acceptable credit will be earned. If scores
are to be used at another educational institution, verification of
acceptance of the CLEP® scores should be obtained prior to taking the
exam.

who transfer to Iowa Lakes Community College from institutions where
CLEP® credit has previously been earned must submit actual CLEP® scores
for evaluation by the Registrar at Iowa Lakes Community College.
