Using CLEP to Increase your Credit Totals
Many students have experiences that they hope to receive credit for, and CLEP is the best option to accomplish this goal. Unfortunately, not all academic courses are covered with CLEP credit, so it may not be a direct solution for every student. But, as you can see from the list below, there are lots of options.
CLEP exams are offered by the College Board, makers of the SAT, TOEFL, and many graduate school level entrance exams. The exams are offered through the UWF Testing Center by appointment and cost a total of $102 per exam taken. Interested students should contact the UWF Testing Center to schedule an appointment.
