Advanced Placement

Entering students who have participated in Advanced Placement Programs of the College Entrance Examinations Board while in high school may receive college credit if they attain scores of three or better on the Advanced Placement Test. Students must have their Test Results mailed directly from the College Board to the Registrar's Office at Grand View as soon as they are available to receive credit. Transfer students must also have the Test Results mailed directly to the Registrar's office. Test Results can be ordered online at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/exgrd_rep.html.

All equivalents will be listed as Non-coursework, so they will meet requirements and not count toward GPA. Some exams are not directly equivalent to courses offered at Grand View but can be applied to core or elective requirements.

CLEP and DSST

The College is a participant in College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST). Grand View College students may earn College credit throguht the CLEP or DSST subject examinations listed below.

Credit cannot be earned by examination if it duplicates credit earned previously (grade of "D" or better) or if the course is a lower-level course in a sequence in which the student has previously received credit for a higher-level course (for example, a student who has earned credit in FREN 201 could not test out of FREN 101 or 102). Credit received through CLEP and DSST does not satisfy residency requirements of degree programs at Grand View.

CLEP and DSST subject examinations may be scheduled and taken through the Academic and Career Center at Grand View or the College for Professional and Adult Learning. For more information, contact the Director of Academic Enrichment in the Academic and Career Center, Kris Owens at kowens@grandview.edu or 515-263-2971.
