CLEP

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) provides an opportunity for students admitted to UAS degree programs to test out of coursework in fine arts, humanities, social science, foreign language, English, math, and natural science. With the 2001 transition from paper-and-pencil exams to a computer-delivered system, ACE (American Council on Education) recommends that a minimum score of "50" must be attained to earn college credit.

Students who take the CLEP English Composition with Essay and score 50 points or higher will receive 3 semester hours of credit for English 111. NOTE: The CLEP General Exam in English Composition without Essay will be transferred as elective credit only. Students cannot challenge English 211 or 212.

CLEP Fees:
There are two fees for CLEP exams: a fee to CLEP and a fee to the local testing center. CLEP exam fees are currently $60 per test, payable to CLEP, and $15 per test, payable to UAS-K. Both fees are required at time of testing. The use of a credit card to pay the $60 CLEP fee will expedite the score-reporting process.
