Credit by examination may also be considered in the transfer of certain general education courses. Credit
may be obtained through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the Advanced Placement
Program (AP) exams. BHCLR uses the following policies for awarding transfer credit by examination to
students:
 Transfer credit may be awarded for courses that have received CLEP or AP credit from a
regionally accredited institution.
 Students must be currently enrolled at BHCLR before CLEP or AP credit can be posted to the
transcript.
 CLEP credit may be awarded for Chemistry, College Algebra, English Composition, Psychology
and Sociology.
 AP credit may be awarded for Chemistry, English Composition and Psychology.
 No grade is awarded for credit, and credit is not calculated in the grade-point average (GPA).
 Credit will not be awarded if the class has been taken and a grade of “C” or better has been
earned.
 Official CLEP score reports must be submitted to BHCLR.
 Official transcripts showing AP credit must be submitted to BHCLR.

Additional information concerning credit by examination policies, tests accepted and required scores is
available on the BHCLR website, or by contacting the Registrar.

For professional and technical courses, the Registrar will work with the appropriate Academic Program
Director/Coordinator to evaluate courses for transferability into the programs of study. BHCLR will
review transfer credit from institutions accredited and recognized by the United States Department of
Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Course content must be substantially
equivalent to required courses to be considered for transfer. Applicants requesting to transfer courses
from other institutions must provide an official transcript and course descriptions to the school.
