Frequently Asked Questions
What is CLEP?
CLEP stands for the College Level Entrance Examination Program. CLEP includes general and subject exams. The general exams cover materials in broad areas, such as Natural Science, Social Science, and Humanities. The tests allow an individual to demonstrate his or her level of competency no matter when or how the knowledge was acquired. CLEP subject exams cover material included in a number of relatively standard courses taught in colleges and universities throughout the United States. Some of these exams are accepted at Chemeketa Community College, as well as other colleges across the United States, in lieu of course requirements.
