CLEP Exams

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is one of two exam programs that provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through examinations in undergraduate college courses.

Cal U accepts a maximum of 30 credits earned through the CLEP and/or DSST. The cost for each CLEP exam is $80 payable by credit card, check or money order. A one-time fee of $25 is required to have the credits entered on the student's transcript. Exam dates and times are by appointment only and may vary depending on availability of the lab. To register for an exam, contact Claire Pizer at 724-938-5779 or pizer@calu.edu.

Study materials and examination descriptions can be obtained through the CLEP website at www.collegeboard.org/clep.
