The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP®) offers you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of the 33 CLEP examinations. CLEP exams allow people who have acquired comprehensive subject knowledge through independent or prior study, on-the-job training, or cultural pursuits to show that they have acquired college-level material. The list of accepted CLEP test scores is available in the College Catalog. 

All the CLEP tests are Internet-based. The language tests involve listening to a native speaker and require the use of headphones that we supply. CLEP tests are generally 90 minutes, however, the college composition tests can take longer.

The CLEP tests are offered in person only and by appointment only.

  3. On the day of your test, pay the $25 proctoring fee at GCC’s cashier’s desk. You can also phone in your payment at 623-845-3589 (option 4). Bring your receipt, your Exam Registration Ticket, and a state-issued photo ID to Testing Services.
  4. Check the AZ Transfer Exam Equivalency Guide to see how your CLEP credits will transfer to the college you plan to attend.

Picture identification is required. Candidates must present one valid, government-issued ID that has both a photo and a signature.

Important! You must send an official score report from College Board to the college(s) where you want to receive credit for CLEP testing. Colleges will not grant credit without the official score transcript.
