The Ohio Department of Education in collaboration with public institutions of higher education have established policy that guarantees college level credit for students who achieve qualifying CLEP exam scores. Ohio University will allow credit for satisfactory performance on the CLEP subject matter examinations, provided you take the examinations before you formally enroll in the university. The university does not award credit for scores achieved on the CLEP general examinations.
For a complete list of course names and descriptions, please visit Ohio University’s online catalog and search under courses. The catalog can be found at: www.catalogs.ohio.edu . Note: OT36 is Ohio Transfer 36 (formerly Ohio Transfer Module).
