Persons scoring appropriately well on College Level Examination Program tests may receive both credit and placement at Thiel College in the freshman and sophomore levels but not the senior level. New students must submit scores to the Registrar before the student completes his or her first regular term of work after matriculation or readmission. Thiel will accept as many as 60 credit hours of work through CLEP tests. Scores above the 49th percentile will qualify for credit toward elective general college requirements with review by the appropriate departments relative to credit toward a major, while scores above the 75th percentile will qualify for elective, general college, or major requirements. There is a $15 per credit hour administrative fee for courses received, processed and placed on the official transcript for credit applied to a degree program. Thiel College administers CLEP examinations on a rolling basis.

Information concerning CLEP examination may be obtained from the College Entrance Examination Board, 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 110019 or from the Director of Admissions or the Registrar at the College.
