College Level Examination Program
(CLEP)
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national program that offers the
opportunity of obtaining college credit by examination. A variety of experiences
may have prepared a person to earn college credit. Each institution determines
which CLEP tests it will accept, the passing score, and the amount of credit that
will be awarded. CLEP examinations for credit toward any degree are not permissible
in the term before graduation. Credit by CLEP may not be used to repeat for
change of grade.
CLEP tests are administered Monday through Friday at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon, and
2 p.m. Also on designated Tuesdays, 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. times are available. You
must contact the Counseling, Testing, and Career Center at (330) 972-7084 in
advance to make a reservation and/or to obtain more information.
