CLEP Testing

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests are computer-based, consisting of five general areas and twenty-nine subject areas, for students interested in earning college credit for material they already know.

CLEP ID Requirements

• If the student is a minor and unable to provide a primary government-issued ID, then the College Board Student ID Form must be used for identification purposes.
• Please review the CLEP identification requirements prior to scheduling your appointment.

DANTES Funding

DANTES does not pay the exam fee for a previously funded CLEP exam. Retired service members are not eligible for DANTES-funded CLEP testing; however, they may be eligible for reimbursement for CLEP exams and administrations fees. Authorized Reserve component spouses are also eligible for DANTES-funded CLEP testing. DANTES will no longer fund CLEP exams for spouses and civilians of the Air National Guard.

Retest Policy

Candidates may not repeat a CLEP exam of the same title within three months. Scores of exams repeated earlier than three months will be canceled and test fees forfeited.

A student who has earned a grade other than a W in the course may not earn CLEP or DANTES credit for the course. A student may earn CLEP or DANTES credit for a course in which he/she is currently enrolled provided that the student withdraws from the course no later than the last date in the term to withdraw with a W.

"Freshman Year for Free"

Modern States, dubbed “Freshman Year for Free,” is a program that was established to make college more accessible and affordable. The courses prepare students for introductory CLEP exams in Economics, Sociology, Algebra, and other areas. 

There are no prerequisites for the 32 courses that will be offered, and all of them are self-paced. After you complete the coursework and practice questions, request a CLEP voucher code from the Modern States website.
