CLEP (College Level Examination Program)

Shorten Your Path to a College Degree!

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to earn college credit! You may earn credit on one or more of the 34 CLEP subject examinations by earning a qualifying score as determined by the American Council on Education (ACE) or by the institution receiving your score(s). For a full list of available exam titles and descriptions, please visit the official CLEP website: www.collegeboard.com/clep

Note: Prior to testing, the test taker needs to know his/her institution's acceptance policy and passing score requirements. CLEP exams are administered via computer.

Please Note: Exams are filled on a first-come first-served basis.

Candidates need 2 forms of government issued photo ID on the day of the exam. Cell phones and/or beepers are not allowed into the exam room.
