A score of 50 or higher is required for computer- based testing since 2/15/2003. For paper-based exams taken prior to 2/15/2003, the CLEP ACE recommended score will be used. CLEP examinations have a 20-year time limit based on the College Board removing scores from their system and not able to provide transcript service. p. 157, Transcripts (9/30/2021, 6/15/2022) Delete this section in its entirety and replace with the following: Official transcripts and diplomas will not be released if you have an outstanding financial obligation to Rasmussen University except when required by any applicable law or when sent directly to a licensing administrator for a student to sit for a certification exam if requested within 12 months of the student's graduation date. Current and former students who require an official transcript must order them through National Student Clearinghouse, a secure 24/7 online order system at www.getmytranscript.com. Once a request is submitted through the National Student Clearinghouse website, the transcript requests are processed within five to seven business days. Students may request that their transcripts be sent electronically to the recipient, or they may be delivered by first class mail. Mailed transcripts are sent standard first-class postage and may take up to 10 days to be delivered by the postal service. Official transcripts will not be released if you have an outstanding financial obligation to Rasmussen University except when required by any applicable law. If you are ordering an official transcript and you have an outstanding debt to Rasmussen University, your fee will be processed, and an unofficial transcript will be sent unless an official transcript is required by any applicable law. Former students should contact a Collections Officer at 844-558- 1160 to resolve any outstanding balance. Active students should work with their advisor. Current and former students who do not owe a financial balance to the University may access and download an unofficial transcript through the Student Portal at no charge as long as their account remains active. This addendum modifies catalog content as indicated, and supersedes all previous addenda.
