Earn credit for what you already know! Save time and money! Fulfill a graduation requirement! Advance to higher-level classes!
What is CLEP?
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a series of computerized examinations in 35 introductory college subjects
that allow individuals to earn college credit for what they already know about the subject regardless of how that knowledge
is acquired. Our institution awards credit for successful scores on CLEP exams.
CLEP exams are 90 minutes long and are administered on computer. Students receive instant score reports following completion
of the exam with the exception of English Composition with Essay.
