College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
General Information
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives students the opportunity to earn college credit for courses by earning a qualifying score on the available CLEP tests. The Office of Academic Testing is an open test center for CLEP. Any students seeking to earn college credit via CLEP should review relevant academic policies and check with the academic advisor applicable to their program of study before taking a CLEP test.
Military Personnel
The Office of Academic Testing is a fully funded test center. The administrative fee is waived, and the exam fee is funded by the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) for eligible DANTES-funded candidates. Only the first attempt of any CLEP test is funded. For further information, please visit the CLEP for Military Web site.
