CLEP Policy: Jeanne Fraker provided information about how the CLEP
recommended minimum credit-granting scores were determined. The exams are
normed against students actually enrolled in comparable courses. The minimum
recommended scores are the mean score of students in the reference group
who earned final course grade of C. The committee approved the CLEP Policy
proposal to be sent to Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate for inclusion
as new business at its next meeting.
PROPOSED WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY CLEP POLICY:
Students who score at or above designated minimums on CLEP subject tests
will be granted credit applied to degree requirements using the same guidelines
as transfer credit. A student may earn up to 30 quarter hours through CLEP.
University guidelines dictate the application of CLEP credits to university
requirements, including general education and satisfaction of high school
deficiencies. College and departmental guidelines determine the application
of CLEP credits to college and departmental requirements.

Discussion continued surrounding the extent of the concerns
across the university about the math placement test and policies. The chair

to invite all interested parties to its next meeting to discuss the concerns
and suggest ways to work out an acceptable solution.
