CLEP
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives students an opportunity to earn college credit for what they already know-for the fraction of the cost of a college course. Earning a qualifying score on one or more of the available exams can help students reach their academic goals, whether they are getting a head start on college or working to finish their degree.
For general CLEP information, or to purchase a CLEP exam, visit the College Board CLEP website. It is recommended that students meet with a JJC advisor prior to purchasing a CLEP exam to ensure that credit is applicable to their degree or certificate program. If you are interested in more information on taking a CLEP exam at JJC, please contact Testing Services.
