The College Board offers a College-Level Examination Program (CLEP®) that includes tests for various subject areas. These tests recognize a student's comprehensive subject knowledge acquired through independent or prior study. EKU accepts credit for these examinations according to the following guidelines. No credit is given for exams without equivalent courses at EKU. In order to receive credit, a student must complete the Credit-by-Examination form available from the Office of Academic Testing, Student Services Building, Room 340. Information about the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP®) can be found at www.testing.eku.edu. The Office of Academic Testing administers CLEP® tests for currently enrolled EKU students. Please contact 859-622-1281 for testing information. Test administration fee is $15. (Note: the student will pay a $72 fee by credit card to CLEP as they take the online test in the Academic Testing Center.) To see sample tests, please visit http://www.clepexampracticetests.com/.
