More Information about CLEP

 

When:

CLEP exams are offered on a pre-arranged basis.  Students will need to pre-register for the CLEP exam through the office of Special Services and Testing, located in the Student Services Building on the Levelland Campus.

 

Where:

CLEP exams are administered in the Student Services Building in the Testing Center. Students should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their testing time with proper identification. 

Each examinee will receive an unofficial score printout upon completion of each exam.  However, official score reports are generally received several days following the test date. 

The fee is $60.00 payable to CLEP and $15.00 payable to SPC for each examination.  

Each exam has a 90 minute time limit. CLEP tests may be repeated ONLY ONCE in a six month period.  Course for which the student has registered or which have been taken in previous semesters may not be eligible for CLEP credit.

Changes in test dates may be done over the phone.  Changes will be approved ONLY by Juli Wood, Testing Coordinator.  It is the examinee's responsibility to be sure the correct person has been contacted to make such changes. 

No changes will be approved after the roster has been closed.

General Information: CLEP Exams will be offered several times a month.
