ICBE Testing Procedures

Credit in certain courses offered at Alabama State University may be earned by Institutional Credit by Examination.  On the basis of previous training or experience, any student who has reason to believe he or she can pass an examination in one or more of these courses may be permitted to register for such examination with the approval of the Dean and the assigned instructor in the particular departmental areas.

A student must have completed six (6) semester hours of traditional credit at ASU and have successful completion of a course within the last 12 months to have non-traditional credit applied to their record.

  • A minimum score of 80 is required to receive credit for the exam.
  • A student attempting credit-by-examination will be awarded a grade of “P”; except in the case of failure, no grade will be recorded.
  • An exam score or credit earned is not included in the computation of the grade point average (GPA).

ASU will be moving to replace the MAT with the GRE assessment.

The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a computer-based test. Performance on the MAT is designed to reflect candidates' analytical thinking, an ability that is critical for success in both graduate school and professional life.

Upon completion of the MAT Computer-Based Test, you will receive a Preliminary Score Report. The scores displayed on this report are still pending verification by Pearson and therefore, are not official and cannot be presented to schools as a substitute for an Official Transcript.

The MAT Test is administered in the Life Science Building, Room 102. A valid ID is required for admittance. You should bring two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID, excluding credit cards with photos). You should plan to arrive no later than 2:30 p.m. on the day of testing.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

ASU Credit By Exam – CLEP

The College Board College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national testing program that offers students the opportunity to take exams in order to obtain college-level credit. CLEP offers more than 33 exams in multiple subject areas. The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends that test-takers receive a passing score of 50 in order to be awarded credit, however qualifying scores vary by department and college. Alabama State University accepts scores from certain CLEP tests for credit in selected courses. Interested students should review the CLEP Course Equivalency Table to view the exams awarded for credit at the university and what course credit they will receive for that CLEP exam. Students should contact an academic counselor to determine which courses will apply to their prospective degree program. Scores must be received from the College Board on an official CLEP transcript before credit is awarded. Students wanting to take a CLEP exam should contact the Office of Testing Center for information on registration and test sites.

After The Exam

If you pass the CLEP exam, you will need to wait until CLEP sends the official CLEP transcript to the Testing Center office. This could take from 2 to 4 weeks. Once the transcript is received, a letter will be sent to the Office of Enrollment Management informing them to grant the student credit for the CLEP exam.

CLEP Retake Policy

  • 90-day waiting period from the date of an exam to retake a CLEP exam.
  • Test taker is responsible for knowing and adhering to retake policy.
  • Registration, administration, and test fee applies.

Additional Score Transcripts

If you did not indicate a score recipient institution at the time of your exam, and you want to request your CLEP scores, you can do so by ordering a CLEP Transcript. This transcript is a cumulative score report of all the CLEP exams you’ve taken, and the scores you earned in the last 20 years. The institutional transcripts must be official transcripts in a sealed envelope, and show credit was received for the CLEP exam(s).
