WHAT IS CLEP?
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) offers a unique opportunity to gain college credit for the knowledge you have acquired. The program includes 34 tests covering a variety of subjects. Formal study, private reading, on-the-job experience, non-credit courses, business training, television/radio courses, travel, and superior high school courses are just a few ways knowledge is acquired.
ELIGIBILITY FOR CLEP
Those who score at the 75th percentile or above on either the SAT or the ACT are likely to meet the minimum scores as established by Liberty University(LU). Others who have done extensive reading or who have relative life experience may also profit from the CLEP.
COSTS
1. NON-REFUNDABLE $50 Registration/Proctoring Fee, payable to Liberty (cash, check, or credit card), due when your form is turned in to reserve a computer.
2. $72 fee for each examination, payable to CLEP by credit card (VISA, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express) when you take the test.
CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS
You may change the test you take, as long as it is at your appointed time. If you cannot keep your appointment, you must cancel and re-register, which includes paying an additional registration/Proctoring fee.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ ALL THE CLEP INFORMATION ON THIS SITE FIRST. To register, you must:
* Complete the Registration Form (see link below)
* THE REGISTRATION FORM DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER YOU FOR YOUR SELECTED DATE AND TIME. YOU MUST SUBMIT THIS FORM TO THE TUTORING/TESTING CENTER IN TE 128 TO COMPLETE REGISTRATION. *
REGISTRATION FORM
* Take the Registration form with your $50 (cash, check payable to LU, or credit card) Registration/Proctoring fee to the Tutoring/Testing Center (TE 128). Appointments are made on a first come first served basis. (see Bruckner Learning Center - Tutoring & Testing Center link below for office hours)
* You will be issued an Admission Ticket.
*Complete the CLEP tutorial program, which explains the testing process (See NOTE below for ways to do this). It will allow you to practice the computer-based testing process before taking the exam in the test center.
NOTE: When you register for a test, you are reserving 2 hours on a computer. Each test is 90 minutes long, leaving 30 minutes for check in and setup. Once you are online, you are directed through a tutorial program, which explains the testing process. Because this is somewhat lengthy, CLEP has produced a Sampler program. You can download this from the CLEP website, CLEP Sampler download (link below). This is a very large file. If you have problems downloading the Sampler, you may go to ILRC, which has several computers with the program installed. You may also order the Official CLEP Study Guide (Study Guide - link below) from the College Board, which will include a Sampler.

COMPUTER BASED CLEP TESTING
All CLEP exams are computer-based. Liberty University is an open test center for the CLEP program; we administer all the CLEP exams. Students may request their scores be sent to any institution that accepts CLEP credit. It is the responsibility of the student to verify a school's acceptance of the exam before registering to take it.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: RETAKING AN EXAM YOU MUST WAIT AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE RETAKING AN EXAM. THIS IS A CLEP REQUIREMENT. RESTRICTIONS For Liberty University Only: No credit may be granted for a MATH test that is prerequisite material for a course that has already been completed with a grade of "C" or better. Graduating Seniors must take the exams and Liberty must receive their scores before the beginning of their final semester. DESCRIPTION OF EXAMS (see link below) * CLEP computer-based exams are composed of multiple-choice questions. * The total time allowed is 90 minutes. * There are no scheduled rest breaks. * No personal calculators are permitted. Exams requiring calculator use have a calculator in the computer program itself. These exams are Chemistry, College Algebra, College Math, and Trigonometry. * After you take the exam, your instant score report is provided to you right away. The only exception to instant scoring is the English Composition with Essay, for which results are sent after the essay is scored by ETS. Scoring of the essay takes place once a month. For more detailed information about the exams and their content areas, please visit the College Board web site at CLEP Test Descriptions (below). In addition to the CLEP study guide (Study Guide - link below), CLEP now offers individual exam study guides that can be downloaded from the net for a fee (Individual Study guides- link below).
