1. A national program administered by the College Board, the College-Level Examination
Program is a series of examinations that allows students to demonstrate knowledge
in a wide range of areas. The tests are used to grant credit for corresponding
college courses. There are five General and thirty Subject examinations. At
NC State, credit is granted primarily for Subject examinations, as these provide
a more satisfactory evaluation of subject matter covered in NC State courses.
Scores and essays, if required, are reviewed and credit is granted by the department
offering the corresponding course.
2. Both General and Subject examinations are administered during the third calendar
week of each month except December and February. It is necessary to register
for the examinations at least three weeks before the first of the week in which
they are to be given. The examinations are administered through the Counseling
Center at North Carolina Central University, Durham, North Carolina, 683-6336.
