Mott Community College will award up to a total of 16 credits for Advanced Placement and CLEP examinations.

Advanced Placement

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of college level examinations, developed by the College Board, that gives high school students the opportunity to receive college credit. Mott accepts scores of three (3.0) and above for credit on more than a dozen Advanced Placement examinations.

In English, for example, AP examinations are offered in Language and Composition and Literature and Composition. In English Language and Composition, for a score of three (3) or above, Mott awards three semester hours and allows credit for English 101.

The AP examinations are offered nationally and world-wide each May, and are administered at participating high schools.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is developed by the College Board and measures college-level knowledge in five basic areas of the liberal arts: English composition, humanities, mathematics, social science and history, and natural science.

MCC students may be awarded appropriate college credits for college level course work if they successfully complete one or more CLEP examinations. A limit of 16 credits may be awarded for CLEP examinations. Credits will be determined by MCC officials.

CLEP Exams are conducted by appointment only. Each exam takes 90 minutes and costs between $65 and $75 plus a $15 administrative fee, effective July 1, 2007. Registration and payment takes place the day of testing. Most CLEP testing is conducted via computer.

Students can prepare for these exams using study guides available for purchase from the College Board.

All CLEP exams will have a standard credit granting score of 50. Examples are listed below:
