College Level Examination Program
The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) helps you earn college credit for what you already know, for a fraction of the cost of a college course. Developed by the College Board, CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program, available at more than 2,900 colleges and universities. Standardized tests administered on a computer allow students to demonstrate their knowledge in a wide variety of subjects and earn college credit. Pass any of the 33 CLEP exams and achieve your college and career goals.
CLEP recommends following these steps:
- Learn about your school's CLEP policy: Baldwin Wallace University CLEP Policy (CLEP credit) or other institutions
- Decide on which CLEP exam(s) to take: CLEP exams available (see all horizontal tabs) and exam descriptions and fact sheets
- Register and pay for a CLEP Exam Registration Ticket through My Account on the CLEP website at http://clep.collegeboard.org (Get Started with CLEP link). The CLEP Registration Ticket confirms your CLEP exam purchase but does not reserve a seat at your preferred test center.
- Find test centers and reserve a CLEP test date for your exam.
- Prepare for your exam. Find study resources, tips, and samples.
