College-Level Examination Program
(CLEP)
CLEP tests are administered
by appointment. For optimum availability, a two-week notice prior
to a desired test date is recommended. Information on test requirements,
fees, and policies is available by contacting Testing Services.
Overview
CLEP is a national credit-by-examination
program that allows students to gain college credit for passing
a specific subject area test. Each of the 34 CLEP examinations
is administered on computer. By taking one or more CLEP exams in
your strong subjects, you will . . .
- Save time.
Get college credit for what you already know. Be rewarded for
what you've learned through independent study, advanced high school
courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development.
- Save money. Compare
the cost of a CLEP exam to hundreds--even thousands--of dollars
in tuition.
- Make college more interesting.
Move right into advanced courses.
- Graduate on time. CLEP
can help you to the finish line if you're a few credits shy of
graduating.
- Satisfy a proficiency requirement.
Demonstrate you've already mastered the content of, for example,
a basic math or language course. Great for dual-degree candidates
or students just a few credits shy of graduation.
The National
CLEP Website maintains comprehensive information
on the CLEP testing program.
Getting Credit
Contact the college/university you are interested
in to find out whether they accept specific CLEP exams. The institution
can also provide information on the scores required for granting
credit, the number of credit hours granted, and the courses that
can be bypassed with satisfactory scores.
