Test Center

Credit by Examination at Harford Community College

All Division Exams require faculty appointment; see Test Center for details.
Academic advising is strongly suggested for students who intend to transfer.
Some exams require additional papers, essays, or lab experience. Please contact Test Center for details.
HCC is an Open Center for CLEP and DSST exams. If you are having credit applied elsewhere, you may still test at Harford. The list below is not a comprehensive listing of all available CLEP and DSST exams; see Test Center staff for details or visit the CLEP or DSST websites.
AP and IBO exams are given in conjunction with coursework taught in high school. AP credit is awarded only for AP exams; IBO credit is awarded after review of official IB transcript.
