CLEP (College Level Examination Program)

CLEP exams include General Examinations and Subject Examinations. Both are designed to measure factual knowledge and understanding, problem solving ability, and mastery of college-level, introductory course content in a wide range of disciplines.

 

How to Register for a CLEP Exam

  1. Decide which CLEP test(s) to take.
  • UNO students should refer to the Credit by Examination Policy for a list of UNO approved tests as some restrictions apply at UNO.
  • UNO Testing Center administers all CLEP tests, even those that are not accepted for credit at UNO
  • UNO Testing Center permits examinees that are not UNO students to take CLEP tests.
  • Students seeking credit at other institutions should check with their school for approved tests.

2.  Individuals can find information on how to register to take a CLEP exam in the CLEP Information for Candidates bulletin.

3.  Create an online account through the CLEP.

4.  Register online for your test(s).

  • Be prepared to submit the $87.00 test fee online to CLEP at the time you register.

  • An additional UNO $10.00 non-refundable essay fee may be required for some exams.
