CLEP Testing
The College Board’s College Level Examination Program (CLEP) provides Southeast Technical College students with an opportunity to “test-out” of specific college-level courses. Students that receive a passing score on a CLEP test will earn college credit - without having to enroll in the class, saving both money and time!
Details
- No grade is granted when an exam is passed.
- Credits granted by CLEP are not used in determining grade point average.
- Credits granted by CLEP cannot be used in full-time/part-time financial aid calculations.
- Students wishing to obtain credit through CLEP exams should visit the College Board CLEP website.

When Should a Student Take a CLEP Test?
Generally speaking, the sooner a student can take a CLEP test, the better. Ideally, this would be at least one month prior to starting classes or registration, but Southeast Technical College will accept CLEP scores until a student's graduation date.
What Does it Cost?
Each CLEP exam costs $95. If you are an STC student taking the test at the on-campus Testing Center, there is no fee for proctoring.
