College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
General Examinations
- CLEP general examinations should be taken before a student enrolls in college and must be taken before completion of 15 semester credits of college work and before completion of any college course in the area that is being tested.
- Credits from these examinations will be counted as fulfilling one subcategory in GE II, GE III, or GE IV. They do not fulfill the GE lab requirement.
- CLEP general exams are given by appointment at Testing Services, Schofield 226, 836-5522. The cost is $75/test, $65 payable to CLEP and $10 payable to UW-Eau Claire. Sample questions are available at Testing Services, Schofield 226.
- For information about the exams and sample questions, consult the CLEP Web site.

CLEP Subject Examinations
-
Course-equivalent exams should be taken before the student is enrolled in the equivalent course or in any higher-level course for which it is a prerequisite. With departmental permission, a student can take the test for a course in which s/he is enrolled, but this must be done before the end of the first week of classes.
-
Credit by exam cannot be used to repeat courses already taken at UWEC. A course-equivalent examination can be attempted only once.
