The University of Tampa welcomes students from a variety of backgrounds and learning experiences. Prior learning is evaluated by satisfactory results on any of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations administered through the College Board. Students meeting the minimum score and percentile listed below can earn credits for the equivalent UT course.

Up to 30 semester hours for successful performance on CLEP examinations may be granted.

• High school students have the opportunity to gain full admission to the sophomore class by obtaining satisfactory scores on the CLEP
• The CLEP measures the student's knowledge of English composition, social studies, humanities, general science, and mathematics
• CLEP credit will NOT be awarded for Writing and Research (AWR 201)
• Credit will not be granted to students who have previously earned credit at a more advanced level in that particular subject
• Students attending professional schools must be aware that CLEP credits may NOT be acceptable to all professional schools
• Students who are native speakers of non-English language MAY NOT receive CLEP credit in that language
• Students must earn a minimum score of 50 on most exams to be eligible for credit.  Foreign language exams cite their minimum score in the chart below.
