The CLEP is a series of examinations in 35 introductory college subjects that allow individuals to earn college credit for what they already know regardless of how that knowledge was acquired-through advanced course work, independent study, work experience, professional development, or extracurricular activities. CLEP exams make it possible for you to save time and money in your college career and to advance to higher level classes.
The 90 minute exams are administered via computer at the Testing Center. Contact the Testing Center (828-262-6801) to make an appointment for an examination. Each exam costs $80 (payable to CLEP) with an additional administrative fee of $25 payable to Appalachian. Students receive instant score reports following completion of the exam.
