CLEP Examination
The University awards credit for select CLEP exams. New students should request that their official CLEP exam results be sent to the Office of Admissions after submitting the admission application. George Mason University’s CLEP school code is 5827. Questions regarding CLEP exams may directed to the College Board at: www.collegeboard.com.
Effective Fall 2009: Once admitted to Mason, students may not take CLEP exams and apply credits from those exams to degrees in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Students may apply credits from CLEP exams to degrees in the college if those credits were awarded at the time of admission.
NOTE: Students may only receive advanced standing once for a particular George Mason University course. Duplicate transfer credit will not be awarded.
