All colleges that I am aware of, with the exception of Excelsior, award you 3 credits for passing a CLEP but do not give you a grade. As I said, Excelsior does give grades for certain CLEP exams. They changed their policy early this year, so they only give grades for two or three CLEPS now but they give grades for virtually all of the DSST exams, I believe.
CLEPS, if no grade is given, do not affect your GPA, unless you are using the CLEP to rid yourself of less than stellar grades, in which case they can help raise your overall GPA.
