CLEP Equivalencies
***If a CLEP exam is not listed below, that means there is not a UWGB equivalent course and UWGB course credit will not be given for those exams (This includes Information Systems, Principles of Management, and Computer Applications and Management.)***
General Exams are marked as such; all others are Subject exams. If you are a UW-Green Bay student, please be aware of the policies guiding the awarding of CLEP credit at UW-Green Bay. Consult the UW-Green Bay Catalog to match course names to course numbers.
