The CLEP enables nontraditional and traditional students the ability to earn college credit solely by examination. Underlying the core program believes that the future calls for more education for all citizens; flexibility, innovation, and independent study are essential. What a person knows is more important than how they came to it; thereby, academic credit by examination is one key to a more flexible and successful education system.

The CLEP test is a timed computer-based test offered for some entry-level degree courses. Contact the appropriate institution for their CLEP score requirements.

Successful CLEP scores may earn 3, 6, or 8 credits depending on the rating and the institution's policies. For CSN, please visit the current Student handbook online for the latest cut scores.

The CLEP is administered daily at the main Assessment/ Testing Centers. Candidates may reserve a computer for a specific day and time by setting up an appointment and pre-paying the service through RegisterBlast: www.csn.edu/testing-appointments.

DANTES funds CLEP exams, so please see your Veteran's Affairs for more information. The DANTES does not cover the candidate's proctor fee.
