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 will receive transfer credit. Official transcripts 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.
