CLEP is a national program that offers students credit by computer-based examination. This allows students to have the opportunity to obtain recognition for achievement in specific college courses. Credit received from CLEP exams at JMU may only be awarded to current ADP students.

To purchase your examination and obtain information specific to the test you are taking, visit the CLEP website at https://clep.collegeboard.org/

CLEP now offers test takers the option to take a virtual CLEP exam with remote proctoring. Each CLEP exam taken with remote proctoring has the same timing, content, format, and on-screen experience as the test you would take at a CLEP test center. Your remote-proctored exam appointment will be monitored by a human proctor online through Proctortrack, CLEP’s remote proctoring partner. 

For more information on virtual CLEP exams, visit CLEP’s remote proctoring information page

The following is very important and should be noted as well:

1. CLEP credits do not count towards the 60 credits from a 4-year institution nor do they count towards the 30 credits from JMU requirements.
2. CLEP testing must be included in your program of study and approved by your academic advisor.
3. CLEP credits are posted to your transcript in the semester you passed the exam.
4. Plan to take CLEP exams early, do not wait until your last semester.
