The transcript entry, for the student who passes the CLEP, will show "Credit
By Examination" with a grade of "CR" entered by the name of the
course. There is no grade to be computed into the grade point average. No transcript
entry is made if the examination score is not high enough for credit. The college
will charge the student a $5.00 fee per course when he/she requests the credit(s)
be put on his/her NMJC transcript.
To find out what topics are covered on a test, to take a sample test and to

currently costs $60.00 per exam and is administered five to six times a year.
