CLEP & GPA

Published

Just wanted to know of anyone's experience that have CLEP'd some courses and got accepted into the nursing program.

Knowing that you only get a Pass and no grade for it, how did they factor your pre-req GPA if you CLEP'd out of some courses?

Hope I'm making sense, lol.

I took 2 CLEPs for my nursing program. I was originally admitted for the 3 year track but that was too long for me. By CLEP-ing intro to psych and intro to soc. I was able to transfer into the 2 year program. on my transcript they show up as a Pass and are not calculated into my GPA

I have CLEPed out of two classes already, and plan to take two more. The official school transcript counts them as transfer credits, so I get the hours but they have no effect on my official school GPA at all.

But I have heard that my nursing program (Georgia Perimeter) does count the transfer grades and counts CLEP scores as B's when figuring the nursing admissions GPA. Not sure if that's true, so I have no idea what my admissions GPA is! It was good enough.

That's what I was wondering about also. I guess I can contact the Nursing dept of schools I'm looking to transfer to and see how they determine CLEP scores towards their admissions.

Thanks! :)
