CLEP (College Level Examination Program)

College Board currently charges a set fee for each CLEP examination. You will create an account, pay College Board for the exam fee, and print out a voucher (valid for 6 months) for the test on the CLEP site.

If you plan to have your test results sent to Collin College, be sure you review the exams accepted for credit at Collin College near the bottom of this page before you order your exam.  Exams should be sent to College Code 2290.

■  Clicking on the campus link below sends you to a new page where you can select a time to take your exam.

■  Pay a $15 administration fee directly to Collin College. Print out your receipt and bring it with you to the testing center location.

■  The CLEP sitting fee is non-refundable.

■  You may reschedule one time with no charge.

■  CLEP examinations are given by appointment only.

■  A photo ID is required for all CLEP testing. Your primary ID must be government-issued and include your name, signature, and a recognizable photograph. There are NO exceptions on the forms of ID that can be used.
■  A student does not have to be currently enrolled at Collin College to take a CLEP exam.
■  Exam scores may be sent to any institution that the student requests. Each institution determines its own policies regarding CLEP examinations, required scores, and credit given. The student is responsible for contacting the receiving institution to determine what exams are accepted.  We highly recommend you do this prior to signing up for a CLEP exam.

■  CLEP exam fees and refunds are determined by the College Board.
■  An unofficial score report will be available upon the completion of most CLEP exams. Official scores will be sent to the test-taker and the school of choice (to send your scores to Collin College, use code 2290) in approximately 2 (two) weeks.
■  A waiting period of 3 months is required to retake any CLEP exam.

■  The Collin College Registrar's Office certifies credit earned on CLEP Subject Examinations with a score at or above the minimum score for credit (see table below).

■  For CLEP credit to be certified at Collin, a student must have successfully completed a course at Collin within the past 5 years and have at least 3 semester credit hours (developmental courses not included) from Collin College.

■  Credit earned by examination may not be earned in any course for which the student has previously received a grade, either at this institution or elsewhere (grades of 'F' and 'W' are included). A course must be dropped before the census date to avoid a grade of 'W'.

■  You must be TSI complete through testing or an exemption before CLEP exams can be applied to your transcript or used as a pre-requisite override.
