CLEP (College Level Examination Program)

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of the many examinations. Earn credit for knowledge you've acquired through independent study, prior course work, on-the-job training, professional development, cultural pursuits, or internships.

Before you register for a CLEP exam, check with your academic advisor at your current institution to make sure the CLEP examination you wish to take is appropriate for your needs.

CLEP is one option provided by the University as an opportunity to earn college credit. CLEP is only administered on the computer. This test is given daily by appointment only. The total cost for each CLEP exam is $110.00. Registration and payment must be completed in order to schedule an appointment.

CLEP is offered Monday, Tuesday and Friday by appointment only.

UCF Students, Please Note: The University of Central Florida does not award credit for all of the CLEP exams that are provided by the University Testing Center. Test credit is applied according to the published policy at the time the credit is received and posted by the university. For updated information regarding this and all other IMPORTANT CLEP POLICIES, please visit the UCF Catalog Section on CLEP.

CLEP Policies and Requirements

YOU MUST bring two forms of personal identification on test day in order to be admitted to the testing room – primary and secondary. Primary identification must be a government-issued photo bearing ID. The ID must include your name, signature, and a recognizable photograph. Acceptable forms of primary ID include:

  • Current driver’s license
  • State or federal ID card
  • Current passport
  • Military ID with photo and signature

Rescheduling, Missed Appointments, Cancellations, and Refunds

All tests must be scheduled and completed within 30 days of receipt of your payment. You are allowed one reschedule. If you fail to arrive at the test site, or arrive to be seated 15 minutes later than your scheduled test time, you will not receive a refund. To reschedule a test, you must call at least 24 hours before your appointment time. If you reschedule within 24 hours of your scheduled exam, you will forfeit your testing fee.

Re-test Policy

A CLEP may not be retaken within a 6-month period. This waiting period provides the student with an opportunity to spend additional time preparing for the exam or the option of taking a classroom course.

Score Reports

You will receive an unofficial score report immediately upon completion of your CLEP exam. However, the English Composition with Essay exam score report will be mailed usually 2-3 weeks after the test date. A score recipient (college, employer, or certifying agency) that is selected through the software on the day of the exam is sent one time free of charge. Additional CLEP transcripts can be obtained for a $20.00 fee by contacting College Board/CLEP directly.

If you designate UCF as the recipient of your official CLEP transcript, it will take approximately 7-10 business days from the date of request through College Board/CLEP for the University Testing Center to receive the transcript. It will take an additional 1-2 weeks for the score to be entered and updated. Please contact the University Testing Center directly at utc@ucf.edu or 407-823-5109 if you need to check on receipt of an official CLEP transcript.
