CLEP Exams at Mount San Antonio College

Mount San Antonio College, commonly known as Mt. SAC, is a public community college in Walnut, California. It serves students in the San Gabriel Valley and surrounding areas of Los Angeles County. As a community college, it offers open-access higher education with pathways for transfer, career preparation, and basic skills support.

Mt. SAC offers a broad mix of academic and career education programs, including associate degrees, certificates, and transfer-oriented coursework. The college is known for serving a large and diverse student body and for providing strong support for students planning to move on to four-year institutions. It also offers workforce and technical training aligned with local employment needs.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Mt. SAC is a community college that evaluates outside credit through its official academic policies rather than automatically granting credit for every exam or course. Students should expect credit-by-exam decisions to depend on the college's current rules, the specific exam, and how the credit fits into a program or transfer plan. Because policies can change, students should confirm current CLEP and transfer-credit acceptance with the college before testing.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on Mt. SAC'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. Mount San Antonio College transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
