Advanced Placement High school students may receive advanced collegiate standing by participating in the Advanced Placement Program. Up to sixty credits may be earned through this program or by other test-out procedures. To earn credit through Advanced Placement, students must enroll in specific Advanced Placement courses offered by their respective high schools. Upon complet– ing these courses, students take individual Advanced Placement examinations in each Advanced Placement course. Students request that scores from these examina– tions be sent directly to Cedarville College by entering code number 1151 on their registration forms. Upon receiving these scores, the College determines the appro– priate amount and type of credit for each examination. Scores of 3, 4, or 5 must be earned in order to receive college credit. No fees, other than the fees accompanying the examinations, must be paid in order to receive the college credit. In some cases, sophomore standing in particular subject areas may be earned through these examinations. Students should contact their local high schools to obtain Advanced Placement course and registration information. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Students earn credit through CLEP by taldng nationally standardized examinations in a variety of subject areas. These tests may be taken at local colleges before enrolling at Cedarville or at Cedarville after enrolling. To have CLEP scores sent directly to Cedarville College, students should enter code number 1151 on their CLEP registra– tion forms. By earning scores above specified levels, students receive college credit in specific course areas. Up to sixty credits may be earned through this program or by other test-out procedures. A complete list of the appropriate tests and respective Cedarville courses as well as registration information is available from the Admissions Office. Like Advanced Placement, no fee, other than those accompanying the examinations, must be paid in order to receive college credit through CLEP. Students who wish to use a CLEP examination to satisfy the General Education requirement ENG-110 Composition I must have earned a credit-satisfying score by the end of their second quarter (two quarters after their initial full-time matriculation). CLEP may not be used to satisfy the General Education requirement ENG-140 Composition II. Students who wish to use CLEP examinations to satisfy General Edm;;ation requirements in foreign language, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences must have earned credit-satisfying scores on the respective CLEP examinations by the time they earn 90 credits (attend Cedarville College two years). Transfer students transferring more than 90 credits must earn credit-satisfying scores on respective CLEP exami– nations by the end of their first quarter of full-time attendance at Cedarville.
