FAU undergraduate students may earn credits from CLEP examinations provided they have not received comparable college credits in the CLEP examination area or have not completed a more advanced course in which the accumulation of knowledge or skills in the examination is essential. For FAU course equivalents, please check the FAU Undergraduate catalog for approved credits for FAU students prior to test registration. Course equivalent information can be found under Academic Policies and Regulations then select Acceleration Mechanisms for Undergraduates. For more information visit www.collegeboard.com/clep
