evaluated for college credits. The Credit for Life Experience Program
(CLEP) offers the mature individual with considerable life and work
experiences, an opportunity to transform those experiences into college
credits and to apply them towards a degree at Medgar Evers College of
The City University of New York.

Applicants must be enrolled full-time
or part-time at Medgar Evers College to initiate the process.

college credits; these credits must include English 112 and English
