CLEP
College-Level Examination Program
(CLEP) CLEP
is a series of tests that allow you to show your knowledge in specific
areas and gain college credit.
Each institution establishes
what score is necessary in order to earn credit at that institution. It is
the student’s responsibility to check directly with their school before
taking any test. Institutional policies vary and you may waste time and
money if you fail to investigate. No letter grades are assigned to CLEP
results and CLEP credits do not affect grade point averages. FGCU will
accept up to a maximum of 45 hours of CLEP credit towards a bachelor's
degree. For specific information regarding credit for CLEP at FGCU, please
refer to the catalog or check with your Academic Advisor.
CLEP computer-based
testing is offered through the FGCU Testing Center.

REGISTRATION PROCESS:
The FGCU Testing Center
is an "open" test center for CLEP and we are happy to provide
CLEP testing services to FGCU students, students from other schools, as
well as the general public. We will schedule test times in the order in
which completed registrations are received (this includes test
administration fees).
Registration may be
accomplished in person or by mail, and must be received in the Testing
Office no later than 24 hours in advance of the time you wish to test. NO
ONE WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE TEST WITHOUT THE PRESENTATION OF TWO ID'S- one
must be a government issued ID with signature and the second with a photo
ID AND/OR signature. Two separate fees must be paid:
I. Payable to the FGCU
Testing Center: $25.00 (per test)
*The administration fee
must be paid at the time you register for the test. Each test requires a
separate administration fee. This fee is non-refundable and
non-transferable. If you need or want to reschedule your test date the fee
must be repaid prior to rescheduling.
II. Payable to CLEP: $70.00 (per test)
*The test fee goes
directly to the National CLEP office and may be paid for by check, credit
card, or money order on the day of the test. The preferred method of
payment is credit card (American Express, Visa, or Master Card only). You
will need to tell the Testing Center when you register how you will be
paying for your test on your test date. If you will be paying by credit
card on the day of your test, you will personally enter your credit card
number and expiration date into the computer. If you will be paying by
check, your check needs to be made payable to CLEP and must be a separate
payment from the administration fee paid to the Testing Center.
