CLEP
General Information
CLEP
(College Level Exam Program) examinations are administered in the Gateway
Center, Room 140 and scored immediately, except for tests requiring an
essay. Official results are
received approximately 2-3 weeks following the exam.
Detailed descriptions of all exams and suggestions for preparation
can be found at http://www.collegeboard.com.
UNT
is an open test center. You do
not have to be a UNT student to take a CLEP exam.
It is your responsibility to ensure credit is granted for each CLEP
taken, which can be worked out with an advisor prior to your desired test
date. If you are seeking
credit from another college or university, you should check that
institution’s CLEP policy before testing. If you are taking a CLEP
with an essay for another school, please determine whether or not your
institution wishes to grade the essay itself before coming in to
test. If your institution wishes to grade the essay, please bring the
address your institution would like the essay mailed to the day of your
test. Also, please show up no later than 3:00pm if you are taking an
test with an essay, as such tests take twice as long as standard
tests.
Each
exam is multiple choice and 90 minutes in length.
Some exams require an essay that is an additional 90 minutes in
length, however UNT currently doesn't accept any CLEPs which require essays.

*All four
semesters are on one test.
Although we will be happy to allow testers to take the
essay tests for other schools, it should be noted that UNT no longer
allows students to CLEP out of any English classes. If
you are taking a CLEP with an essay for another school, please show up no later than 10:30am, as such tests take
over twice as long as
standard CLEP tests.
