College Examination Program (CLEP)
General Information
Administered by the College Board, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) offers an opportunity for students to earn college credit based on their performance on certain exams that cover introductory level college course material. Generally, CLEP exams are computer-based and contain multiple choice questions about the subject area. CLEP exams take 90-120 minutes to complete. Students are given their score immediately. NOVA students who achieved an appropriate score on certain CLEP exams are eligible to earn college credit. Please see the tables that designate the name of the CLEP Exam, the required score needed to earn college credit, and the corresponding course code and credit hours. Please note, the accepted equivalency for credit and the needed passing score(s) may be different depending on the year a student completed CLEP testing. Test equivalencies are checked on a regular basis by faculty and updated accordingly.
