Students who complete a CLEP exam must have an original College Grade Report sent from the College Board to Truman State University (our CEEB code is 6483).

Credit will be awarded when the student scores at or above the ACE recommended credit-granting score, with the exception of French and German, which grants a waiver of credit.  A grade of “T” is granted to indicate credit received.  The “T” grade does not affect the grade point average (GPA), but does count toward total earned hours. 

The exams listed below are all of the exams for which Truman currently grants credit.  These equivalencies are subject to change without notice as a result of changes in CLEP test content and Truman course/curriculum changes.  A brochure with this information is also available in .pdf form by clicking here.
