College Level Exam Program (CLEP)

Time is everyone's most valuable -- and scarcest -- commodity. By reducing the number of courses needed to complete a college degree, the College Level Exam Program (CLEP) can make it easier for students of all ages to complete their degrees more quickly. Prior to registering for a CLEP exam, we recommend that you meet with an academic advisor/counselor at your college to determine if CLEP tests might be an appropriate option for you. The college 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.
