Course Work Review
If, after reviewing the Eligibility Requirements, you are unsure if the course work on your transcript will be accepted to establish eligibility for the Child Life Professional Certification Examination, you have the option to request a course work review. CLC will review up to 15 completed courses as reported on your submitted transcripts to determine if specified courses fulfill the eligibility requirements. CLC accepts unofficial transcripts for Course Work Reviews.
Course Work Review Fee: $35.00 U.S. (non-refundable)
PLEASE NOTE:
- No new course work reviews will be conducted during March, April, August or September due to exam application review being done during these months. If all materials are submitted by March 1 or August 1, CLC will complete the course work review.
- During the months of March, April, August and September, the online application will not be available. However, you may submit a hardcopy application and mail it with the $35 payment and copies of your unofficial transcripts. We will cash your check or charge your credit card immediately. Applications that are received during these months will then be numbered, and subsequently reviewed, in the ordered in which they were received once the course work review service resumes.
- Applicants do not need to be a member of CLC in order to complete a Course Work Review application.
- Transcripts submitted for this purpose cannot be used for documentation for your exam application.
- The course work review fee is non-refundable and cannot be applied to the examination fee.
- Courses listed as "in progress" on the transcript will not be reviewed. CLC will only review courses that have been succesfully completed.
