Testing Center - College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College-Level Examination Program, or CLEP, provides students the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through a program of exams in college courses. CLEP examinations measure knowledge of the material usually covered in various classes during college. With CLEP a student can earn college credit for what he or she already knows, regardless of where or how that knowledge was acquired.  Students can earn 3 to 9 hours of college credit, depending on exam and score.  This helps students save time and money, and earn credit for what they already know!

CLEP Eligibility for A&M-SA Students

CLEP cannot duplicate or repeat credit already earned through college or university classes.  Students can receive credit for a passed CLEP exam for courses in which they have received grades of "F," "NC" or "W" since these grades do not represent hours earned.  Students may not receive any CLEP credit for courses which credit has already been awarded, including courses taken and awarded a grade of "A," "B," "C," or "D" grade.  In order for A&M-SA to award credit, the individual must be a current A&M-SA student and have CLEP send their official score report directly to A&M-SA.
