Rockland Community College participates in the College Level Examination Program. Students who earn satisfactory scores on the appropriate examinations may be granted credit. Qualifying scores and the number of credits granted are determined by the individual academic disciplines. Credit is recorded on the student’s transcript and identified with “TRC” instead of a grade. Transfer credits are not used in the computation of the grade point average at RCC.
Credits may be awarded through the successful completion of CLEP in the general examinations, provided no previous academic credits have been earned in these areas.
The college offers several CLEP tests for your convenience. Click here to view available exams and register.
