CLEP Exams at Wells College

Wells College was a private liberal arts college in Aurora, New York, on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region. It was founded in 1868 and operated as a residential undergraduate institution. The college announced the end of its academic operations in 2024, so its current status should be verified before use.

Historically, Wells offered a liberal arts curriculum with undergraduate majors and interdisciplinary study. As a small college, it was known for close faculty-student interaction and a campus-centered academic experience. Because program offerings changed over time, specific current majors should not be assumed without checking archived or official records.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Wells should be treated as a closed institution unless a current teach-out, records, or transfer arrangement is confirmed. That means students or former students should not assume new credit acceptance or degree completion pathways through the college itself. Any CLEP policy would need to be verified from the institution's final published academic policies or from the receiving institution.

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