    The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a credit-by-examination program in which students earn college credits by passing any of the 33 college subject examinations. Each exam takes approximately 90 minute to complete. The required minimum scores needed to receive college credit at SFSC are listed in the College Catalog. For more information about CLEP, visit the College Board’s website.

    Before you schedule to take the CLEP, you must create a CLEP online account, pay the CLEP examination fee, and print a CLEP Exam Registration Ticket. An additional administration fee is payable to SFSC at the time of testing. Once you have your CLEP Exam Registration Ticket, schedule your test by clicking the Schedule Your Test button. CLEP exams are given by appointment only. Appointments must be made at least 48 hours before you take the exam. CLEP testing is only available at the Highlands Campus.
