CLEP Exams at Florida Keys Community College (Marathon)

Florida Keys Community College was a public community college serving the Florida Keys, with a campus in Marathon, Florida. It was part of the Florida College System and focused on serving local and regional students in Monroe County. The institution later became part of The College of the Florida Keys.

As a community college, FKCC offered associate degrees, workforce training, and college-credit courses designed for transfer or career preparation. Community colleges in Florida commonly emphasize general education, technical education, and pathways to bachelor’s degrees, and FKCC fit that mission in the island communities it served. Its academic role was especially important for students who wanted to begin college close to home.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Florida Keys Community College should be understood as a transfer-oriented public college rather than a selective four-year institution. Students at community colleges often use credit-by-exam options such as CLEP to accelerate progress through general education requirements, but acceptance depends on institutional policy. Any CLEP use would have been governed by the college’s own credit-award rules and the receiving institution’s transfer policies.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on FKCC's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. Florida Keys Community College - Marathon transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
