College Level Examination Program

The College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows students from a wide range of backgrounds to demonstrate their mastery of introductory college-level material and earn college credit. Students who have taken a CLEP and earned a score of 50 or higher receive transfer credit. Official CLEP score reports are required for transfer credit evaluation.

To find a test center, register for the CLEP exam, or get your scores go to College Board CLEP.
