College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Introduction to CLEP

CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the country. There are 35 different examinations which allow a student to demonstrate knowledge in a wide range of subjects. This knowledge may have come from school, on the job, or through independent reading, observation, or study. The CLEP examinations are offered by the College Board and are administered at more than 1400 locations.

CLEP is administered as a computer-based test. For additional information about CLEP, including descriptions of CLEP exams, a listing of test centers, and important CLEP addresses and phone numbers, visit the College Board's CLEP web site.

Cost and Registration

At this time Grays Harbor College is unable to administer the CLEP Exam at our institution. We will hopefully be offering the test as soon as possible. We still accept scores and reward credit for exams.

To register for a CLEP Exam, you can go to this link: https://clep.collegeboard.org/register-for-an-exam/how-to-register . The cost of exams are $93.00 and are paid to College Board directly.

Scoring and Credit Award

Students must achieve a score of 50 or higher in all subjects except Foreign Language above the 121 level. These scores give the student a "Pass" credit for each test. A limit of 45 quarter credits can be applied towards a degree.
