CLEP 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 on an individual appointment basis with our testing office located in the Mabee Learning Center. You can schedule an appointment by calling our office at (405) 425-5925 or you may email us at clep@oc.edu.

See the listing at the end of the following guidelines for CLEP exams offered and courses for which credit may be obtained. Scores noted below are subject to change and are for undergraduate students only. If necessary, a student may take the CLEP exams after the semester begins if the student meets the Credit by Examination Policies.

There are two non-refundable fees for each exam. One $95 fee is paid to the testing company, and the other is OC's $30 proctoring fee. The proctoring fee is payable online only.

Students taking the College Composition Modular exam will incur an additional $50 non-refundable grading fee for the essay portion of the exam, also paid online*.

Students requesting testing accommodations must be approved through Student Success one week prior to testing. (Testing accommodations cannot be made available on the day of the exam without pre-approval.)

1. Any undergraduate student who has enrolled at Oklahoma Christian University or who has been accepted for admission by the university may receive credit by CLEP examination from OC. Additionally, prospective undergraduate students or students enrolled at another institution may take CLEP tests at OC but must indicate to which institution the test results should be sent.
2. Students may not attempt credit by examination for courses that they have audited or in which they are or have been, enrolled and in which they have attended classes past the first week at OC or any other university.
3. Students may attempt to receive credit by CLEP examination once every 3 months for each course.
4. Except where specifically provided for by a program, credit by examination may not be given in a course sequentially lower in the department or a prerequisite to a course for which a student has received credit.
5. Purchase and payment for all CLEP exams must be done through the College Board. There is an additional non-refundable fee of $30.00 for test administration that is paid to OC upon submitting the test registration form. (If a student is taking the College Composition Modular exam, there is an additional grading fee of $50.00 which will be paid to OC on the day of the exam.) Payments for this fee can be cash or check - made out to OC and may be paid the morning of the exam. Charges may not be added to the student's school account.
6. Students must present a photo ID for testing. Acceptable forms of ID include a Driver's license, Military ID, Passport, US government-issued ID, or university ID.
