CLEP Credits at Lake Washington Technical College

Lake Washington Institute of Technology, commonly known as LWTech, is a public technical college in Kirkland, Washington. It serves students in the Seattle metropolitan area and is part of Washington's public higher-education system. The college focuses on career and technical education as well as transfer pathways.

LWTech offers a range of professional and technical programs in areas such as health, business, information technology, design, manufacturing, and public service. It also provides associate degrees and other credentials designed for students who want to enter the workforce or continue to a four-year institution. The college is known for hands-on, applied learning tied to industry needs.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, LWTech is a public college that evaluates prior learning and outside coursework through its own academic policies. Students interested in using CLEP or other exam-based credit should confirm whether the specific exam and score are accepted for their program. Credit-by-exam decisions can vary by department, degree, and course equivalency.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on LWTech'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. Lake Washington Technical College transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
