spazz Wrote:My school has a similar policy that will not let you take cleps or anything else for that matter after your first semester. They are really meant for hs credits, like AP History etc. However, if you know people (deans), then you can get one of them to sign off on the creds. Which is what I am doing by making the excuse that there is no other course I could take.I go to RIT, BTW. I think someone asked.
My school has a testing center on campus and you are required to test there. So they can I guess keep track of everything. Most schools also only allow a certain amount of credits from these tests, I have heard 15 is about average.
I am also wondering if a failed clep shows up on a transcript. Right now I have a 4.0 and would hate for something to show up on my transcript saying that I failed a clep. Even though I do not think any graduate admissions would even care what I did on the cleps. But anyway.
Just a bit from my experiences, hope this helps!
I remember, you mentioned that your school has a very strict policy in regards to CLEPs. Forcing you to take the CLEPs at their own test center changes everything. Obviously, they are able to watch every move you make and can ensure that all your scores are reported to them directly.
In light of that, it would make sense that your school might also have their own policy in regards to transcripting failing scores. I would certainly check it out carefully.
It's always wise to find out the policy of the specific school you are, or intend to be, enrolled in. Every school is free to create their own policies, no matter how rigid or flexible those policies may be.
