CLEP Exams

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to earn college credit for what you already know — and for a fraction of the cost of a college course. 

  • Determine your eligibility to earn CLEP credit
    • Tri-C® students are responsible for ensuring that they are eligible to earn CLEP credit
    • Prior to scheduling a CLEP exam, Tri-C students must meet with a counselor to:
      • Explore CLEP opportunities (and discuss how credit impacts timeline to completion)
      • Establish which test(s) to take
    • Non-Tri-C students should be familiar with the CLEP credit-granting policies of their home institution or the college or university they plan to attend. Not all colleges or universities have the same CLEP policies.
  • Find a CLEP exam that is right for you! 
  • Purchase a CLEP exam and register through the College Board website
    • Following the purchase of a CLEP exam, you will receive a payment receipt and a ticket ID. Once you have your ticket ID, you are ready to schedule your test date at a testing location. 
  • Schedule an appointment at a Tri-C CLEP Testing Center (Contact info below) or alternate CLEP testing location
  • Prepare for your CLEP exam
  • Review CLEP’s exam day information

  • Make sure to get a good night’s rest
  • Arrive on time for your appointment
  • Bring your driver’s license, passport or other government-issued identification that includes your photograph and signature (The last name on your ID must match the name on your registration ticket)
  • Bring your valid registration ticket from the My Account registration portal (Your registration ticket is valid for testing within six months of CLEP exam purchase)
  • Bring the test administration fee payment

  • An unofficial score report is available immediately upon completion for any exam that does not include an essay component
  • The College Board will send your official CLEP transcript to the college or university you selected during purchase checkout
  • CLEP transcripts may take 7-10 business days to arrive — follow up with your institution to make sure results were received and credit was granted (if applicable)
