Earn College Credit by Exam
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) was created by the College Board to allow students to demonstrate college-level achievement through a series of exams in undergraduate content. All CLEP testing is computer-based and exams are available year-round. Below is a listing of Community College of Philadelphia courses that may be challenged through CLEP.
You will need to register and pay your exam fee via the My Account portal on the College Board website. Once you receive an automated email confirming the registration of your exam, you'll need to print out your registration ticket.
