CLEP Testing
In addition to the possibility of receiving college credit through ACT testing, students who have had sufficient experience, training or study in a subject area may apply to take College Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject exams produced by the College Entrance Examination Board in order to receive academic credit. CLEP exams are offered to entering freshmen during the summer orientation programs or on an individual appointment basis with IT Services. You may also call Robin Beam at (405) 425-1803 or email her at Robin.Beam@oc.edu.
The student may also take CLEP exams after the semester begins if the student meets the Credit by Examination Policies. See the listing at the end of the following guidelines for CLEP exams offered and courses for which credit may be obtained.
CLEP exams are scheduled individually for Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings. Each exam takes up to 2 hours to complete. All CLEP exams are computer based tests and results are available immediately upon completion of the exam.
If
your ACT score is 28 or higher on the English and/or Math portion, you
automatically receive credit for a course(s). Please contact the Registrar’s
Office at (405) 425-5200 before taking a CLEP test or for more information.
