• GED

• CLEP

What is CLEP?

The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the United States today, helping students of all ages earn college degrees faster by getting credit for what they already know. By receiving a satisfactory score, you can earn college credits toward your degree for each CLEP you take, depending on the exam subject. **Important notice:   Students need to verify with the receiving institution regarding the granting of credit based on a CLEP exam.

Why take a CLEP Exam?       

Save time. Get college credit for what you already know. Be rewarded for what you've learned through independent study, advanced high school courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development.
Save money. Compare the cost of a CLEP exam, just $95, to hundreds of dollars in tuition. 
Graduate on time. CLEP can help you to the finish on time if you're a few credits shy of graduating.
There is a $25 fee to FRCC and a $70 fee to CLEP. Visit the CLEP website for more information.
