Advanced Placement High school students may receive advanced collegiate standing by participating in the advanced placement program. Up to 60 credits may be earned through this program or by other test-out procedures. Hours earned through the advanced placement program do not count as hours in residence toward graduation with honors. To earn credit through advanced placement, students must enroll in specific advanced placement courses offered by their respective high schools. Students may earn college credit for advanced placement scores of three, four, or five. Upon completing these courses, students take individual advanced placement examina– tions in each advanced placement course. Students should request that scores from these examinations be sent directly to Cedarville College by entering code number 1151 on their registration forms. Upon receiving these scores, the College awards the appropriate amount and type of credit for each examination as determined by each academic department. 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 taking nationally standardized examinations in a variety of subject areas. These tests may be taken at local colleges before enroll– ing 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 60 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.
