Assessment: AP, CLEP & DANTES Exams

Students who satisfactorily complete AP, CLEP, or DANTES exams may request articulated credits by following these steps:

  1. Apply to the college.
  2. Provide official transcripts of your exam scores to RACC. Transcripts may be mailed, hand delivered, or sent via a recognized electronic transcript system. Mailed and hand delivered transcripts must be in a sealed envelope with an undisturbed signature over the seal. Electronic transcripts should be sent to admissions@racc.edu. Contact the Welcome Center 610-607-6224 to make an appointment with an enrollment services specialist.
  3. Review your program evaluation in WebAdvisor for complete information about how your credits have been articulated and how these credits apply to your program at RACC. You will receive notice in the mail once your credits have been evaluated.

RACC will generally award students articulated credit for AP exams passed with a 3 or higher. For AP exams not listed on this chart, elective credits will be awarded.

Take CLEP/DANTES exams on RACC's campus

  1. Register and pay for your exam(s) at College Board. College Board will prompt you to print out your voucher as proof of payment.  Along with paying College Board directly for your CLEP voucher for your exam, you will also need to pay a sitting fee, $15 per exam, to RACC (see Step 3).

  4. On the date of your scheduled CLEP testing session, bring the ARTICULATION PAYMENT FORM with the Cashier's stamp, your CLEP voucher, and government issued ID to the RACC CLEP Test Center located on the second floor of Berks Hall, Room 201, and give these documents to the proctor as proof of payment and identity.
  5. After completion of the exam(s), ask the proctor to print out your score.

Please review CLEP test scores that could earn you credit for courses at RACC. Our faculty and staff would enjoy having you attend RACC.
