COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM (CLEP)
CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the country. CLEP exams may be taken to validate prior course work from an unaccredited institution, self-study, prior job or work experience, extension classes, etc. Students may attempt each CLEP only one time. All CLEP testing must be complete before the beginning of the junior year (60 earned hours). Credit earned through CLEP does not count toward residency requirements. Students may not take the CLEP if they are currently taking the course or have attempted the course already at TFC. The current cost for taking each exam is $65.00, and students can register online through the TFC website or another CLEP testing center. “Electives” in the table below are worth 3 credit hours each.
