College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) gives students the opportunity to receive college credit for what they already know by earning qualifying scores on any of 33 examinations. CCS uses the credit-granting scores recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE).

CCS may grant a maximum of 3 credits per CLEP exam with a minimum score of 50.
