CLEP (College-Level Examination Program®)
- Information
- CLEP tests cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two
years of college. A college usually grants the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory
scores on the CLEP test as it grants to students successfully completing that course. You may obtain a
CLEP bulletin in our office or by visiting www.collegeboard.com/clep
.
- CLEP for DANTES
- DANTES program candidates must register in person at our office, present
a proof of eligibility (military or approved governmental identification
card), and pay the $25.00 registration fee by personal
check or money order. Cash or credit card payments are not permitted.
Mail-in registrations are not permitted.
- Restrictions
- CLEP credit is not given at ASU when any of the following situations apply:
- It duplicates credit previously earned by the student at the university or accepted by the
university for work done elsewhere.
- It is more elementary than a course in the same field in which the student has already received
credit.
- An ASU student has already earned more than 100 semester hours of comprehensive credit (proficiency
exams).
