The College Level Examination Program (CLEP), sponsored by the College Board, is a national program of credit-by-examination. CLEP allows you to prove college-level achievement through exams in subject areas that correspond to undergraduate college courses.
Approximately 2,900 colleges and universities grant credit and/or advanced standing for CLEP exams. Each college or university determines which CLEP tests it will accept for credit and the amount of credit it will award.
Prior to testing, contact the college you wish to attend to inquire about its policy on CLEP scores and other admission requirements.
Some colleges and universities place limits on the number of exam credits that they will accept from a transferring student; these limits may include CLEP credits.
If you intend to transfer CLEP credits, consult the college or university to which you wish to transfer about their policies concerning credit by examination.
Kirkwood cannot and does not assume responsibility for the transferability of CLEP credit to other colleges and universities.
