SERVICES

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 to earn credit for what they already know. You can earn from 3 to 12 college credits toward a college degree for each CLEP exam taken, depending on the exam subject and the policy of the college or university. LaGuardia Community College takes up to 30 CLEP credits.

FAQs

Why do I pay two fees to take a CLEP exam?

CLEP test takers pay an $80 fee to the College Board for the exam. In addition, there is a $35 nonrefundable administrative fee that is paid to LaGuardia Community College when you register for a test date.

How long does it take to get results from a CLEP test?

CLEP scores are shown immediately (with the exception of English Composition with Essay) with the official scores mailed from CLEP in approximately two weeks.

How are CLEP scores sent to colleges and universities?

When you register for a CLEP exam with the College Board, you can indicate the college, employer or certifying agency that you want to receive your CLEP test scores. There's no cost for the first transcript request; your College Board exam fee covers it.
