The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed by The College Board to evaluate college-level learning, no matter how or where the learning took place. STLCC students meeting the minimum passing score may earn the credits and course exemptions. Students interested in taking CLEP exams should meet with an academic advisor to obtain information about testing centers, exam information and registration procedures.

The College Board Entrance Exam Board charges a non-negotiable fee as it pertains to CLEP. STLCC charges a $20.00 fee to proctor CLEP exams for non-students; current students are not charged a fee. Students who have taken prior CLEP tests at other institutions should arrange to have a copy of the test scores sent directly to the College Registrar from The College Board. 

When the exam is similar in content to a course offered by STLCC, credit will be equated to a specific course. When no course equivalent exists at STLCC, credit may be granted as elective hours in the same field as the examination. Students should note that credit will not be given for CLEP exams if the student has existing college credit for the equivalent course. Below is a list of currently accepted CLEP tests and scores.
