CLEP - College Level Examination Program

 

The CLEP exams are a set of nationally standardized exams, available in a number of different subject areas. Passing scores and actual course equivalencies are determined by each college or university. CLEP exams are scheduled by appointment and cost $102.00 per exam. The test fee is paid in 2 parts: $77.00 is paid to CLEP by credit card, debit card, check, or money order at the time of testing; $25.00 is paid to the University of Oregon online during registration with a credit card or debit card. CLEP exams are accepted for credit at over 2800 colleges and universities, including the University of Oregon. 

The University of Oregon Testing Center is an open CLEP center which allows us to test anyone interested in earning college credit through the CLEP exams. CLEP exams are administered on a computer using software that permits immediate scoring. See below for information about the exams, including test descriptions, outlines, and sample tests. Each College or University determines its own qualifying scores, so before taking a test, please check with your institution to see if the new passing scores have been set.
