CLEP Exams test your knowledge of introductory college-level subjects and allow you to earn college credit for what you already know. Visit the Registrar's website for a complete list of CLEP Subject Examinations for which WCU may award academic credit. Consult with the university of your choice to determine their individual CLEP policies.

Continuing Education offers CLEP testing at least monthly on scheduled dates. To register, click on the link below and choose the appropriate date and CLEP test. Special dates of testing can be arranged on a limited basis. A scheduled test date administration fee is $40 and is non-refundable.
