CLEP Testing
Students may earn credit for College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. CLEP credit can be used to meet Fullerton College AA General Education (GE). Students must have the College Board send CLEP results to the Admissions and Records Office for use on the AA GE pattern. Course credit and units granted at Fullerton College may differ from course credit and units granted by another college or transfer institution. Fullerton College students will not receive credit for both the CLEP exam and an AP in the same foreign language. View the catalog for more information.
Before you take a CLEP exam, check directly with the college or university you plan to attend to make sure that it grants credit for CLEP and review the specifics of its policy. View the CSU Systemwide Credit for External Examinations here.
Fullerton College administers the French, German and Spanish CLEP exams for prerequisite challenges of specific courses. Please contact the Humanities Division for more information.
Fees
All test takers must register and pay their $95.00 exam fee through the CLEP My Account website and bring their test registration ticket when coming to test.
Policies
A valid identification is needed to test. Identification can be any of the following: valid state, federal picture ID, a driver’s license, passport, or other government-issued identification that includes photograph and signature.
You will be asked to show this identification to be admitted to the testing area. The last name on your ID must match the name on your registration ticket. The ID you bring must meet the following criteria:
- Be government-issued.
- Be an original document—photocopied documents are not acceptable.
- Be valid and current—expired documents (bearing expiration dates that have passed) are not acceptable, no matter how recently they may have expired.
- Bear the test taker’s full name, in English language
Appointments
Fullerton College is a limited test center.
The Assessment Center only administers CLEP exams to certain registered test takers, typically those who are enrolled in the current semester at Fullerton College.
Appointments must be made 3 weeks in advance. Email assessment@fullcoll.edu and provide your Fullerton College ID number and which CLEP test you want to take.
At-home CLEP exams with remote proctoring are now available through College Board. Visit College Board for more information about CLEP testing.
