About CLEP Save Time. Save Money. Take CLEP.
The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of 33 examinations. Earn credit for knowledge you've acquired through independent study, prior course work, on-the-job training, professional development, cultural pursuits, or internships.
(see clep.collegeboard.org
for more information.)
Several of our NHS graduates and members of the senior class have taken the tests at SCCC and received college credits for what they already know.
After visiting the CollegeBoard website and determining what test(s) you would like to take, you can follow these steps:
