CLEP (College Level Examination Program)

The College Level Examination Program is a national program of credit that allows students to obtain recognition for college-level achievement. The Center for Testing is an open CLEP test center and can administer all General and Subject Examinations to anyone who properly registers. However, each institution determines which exams are accepted and what minimum scores are required for credit. If you desire credit at another institution, check that institution's policies before testing.

GCSU awards credit through CLEP for the courses listed below. The acceptable scores for credit and semester hours awarded are as indicated. The Score Recipient code for GCSU is 5252.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

You must call the Center for Testing at (478) 445-5016 to schedule an appointment, and then submit a completed registration form. Registration forms may be found at the CLEP website or in the Center for Testing office in 101 Lanier Hall. A non-refundable $20 administration fee in the form of a check or money order made payable to "Georgia College & State University" must accompany the registration form. The appointment is not confirmed until we receive your completed registration form and the administration fee. If the form and fee are not received one week before your test date, the appointment may be cancelled.

The fee for each CLEP test is $72. CLEP prefers that you pay by credit card, but you may use a check or money order payable to CLEP. If you plan to pay the test fee by check or money order, the check or money order must also accompany your registration form.

Examinees may register in person in the Center for Testing office, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To register by mail, send registration form and payment to:

Center for Testing
Georgia College & State University
CBX 074
Milledgeville, GA 31061

Testing appointments for less than one week ahead may be permitted on a space-available basis for an additional $20 late fee. Late registrations must be received no later than the day before the test.

TEST DAY PROCEDURES

All tests will be administered in the Center for Testing computer lab in 115 Lanier Hall. Allow about two hours for the test.

You must bring two forms of identification. The primary form must be a government-issued photo ID with signature, such as a driver's license, state-issued ID, or passport. The secondary form of ID must have a photo or signature, such as a Social Security card, student ID, credit card, or employee ID. All DANTES-funded military candidates must provide a current military ID.

You may not take calculators, books, papers, notes, mechanical pencils or any type of pen, cell phones, cameras, recording devices, pagers, digital watches, alarm watches, or any reference materials, food or beverages into the testing room. You may not wear or take a hat with a bill or a brim into the testing room. We recommend that you not bring these items to your test session because storage space is very limited.
