Advanced Standing Credit Form

Clark University awards advanced standing credit for certain academic work completed prior to enrollment at Clark. This includes Advanced Placement examination scores of 4 or 5, successful ‘A’ Level examinations, the International Baccalaureate, and course credits earned at other universities. Other international programs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Academic Advising Office determines what, if any, advanced standing credit will be awarded to incoming first-year students. Generally, a maximum of 8.0 units (two semesters) is awarded for advanced standing credit.

If you expect to complete an advanced standing program before your arrival at Clark and wish to have the credits applied toward your Clark degree, please complete the form that is part of the Orientation check list. Remember that you must provide Clark with official documentation of your academic work. You may also be asked to provide a course description or syllabi as part of the evaluation process.

If you have any questions regarding advanced standing credit, you may contact the Academic Advising Office.
