CLEP - College Level Examination Program

Please register for your CLEP exam at College Board. Registering for an exam and scheduling your exam with us are separate steps. Register for an exam, pay the exam fee, and print your ticket on the College Board website. Click on the Schedule your Exam button to the right to schedule and pay for your exam appointment with us.

If you are in the military, your exam may be paid for by your military benefits. Be sure to review the page Military: How to Register Under DANTES to determine your eligibility and find out how to register with the exam funded by DANTES.

Cost of Exam:

• $95 on the College Board website for the exam of your choice
• A $35 fee is paid when scheduling your exam at the testing center

What to bring to your appointment:

• Valid, current government-issued ID (Driver’s license, passport, passport card, etc.)
  • Military exam takers must bring their military ID.
• CLEP exam registration ticket

Please note the following:

• OU only accepts Spanish Language I and II, not Spanish Writing: Levels I and II.
• On CLEP exam day, exam takers aren't allowed to bring their calculators into the testing room.  Because of this, calculators are integrated into the CLEP exam software to help exam takers solve questions on some CLEP science and math exams and the Financial Accounting exam.
• If you have a learning or physical disability, you can request accommodations, but you need to contact the test center to make the necessary arrangements.
• Exam takers can't retake an exam of the same title within three months of the initial date. If you retake the exam within three months, your administration will be considered invalid, your score will be canceled, and any fees will be forfeited.

• OU only accepts the first score.
• Students may not take a CLEP exam in a course they are enrolled in after the add/drop period.
• Students may not take a CLEP exam in a course in which they have earned a grade other than "W."
• If students take a CLEP exam while in violation of any of these conditions, they will not receive credit.
• If students are enrolled in a course in which they pass a CLEP exam (prior to the add/drop period), they are responsible for dropping the course. 

For scores needed, please reference the OU Office of the Registrar College Level Examination Page. Official results are mailed from CLEP directly to the institution you indicate at the time of the test. You will receive an unofficial score report immediately upon completion of your CLEP exam.
