Test Center Information
CLEP test centers benefit students and institutions
CLEP exams are administered at 1,400 college campuses in the United States and abroad. The exams are delivered at each location via computers located within test centers. CLEP test centers may be established with one computer or with 50—as long as you have a designated room for testing and proctors and your computers meet the computer-based testing system requirements (.pdf/62K). Learn more about test center requirements.
As the link between CLEP and students, test centers perform a vital function by providing access to CLEP exams, allowing students the benefit of:
- Time savings
- Money savings
- Increased likelihood of on-time graduation
Benefits for your institution
On-campus test centers provide a benefit to the institution as well, offering a way of attracting potential high-achieving students and a source of revenue. Test centers also function as advocates for CLEP, making students, faculty, and other administrators aware of CLEP's value as an educational resource.
