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

  • 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.
