CLEP - College-Level Examination Program

Please note that Thomas Edison State University awards credit for CLEP examinations, which have been reviewed and recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE) for specific exhibit dates.

Prior to registering for an examination, students are urged to refer to the current CLEP website to confirm that the examination they are interested in taking is still active and to confirm the number of credits being recommended for successful completion of the CLEP exam: www.collegeboard.com/clep.

Students who wish to have their score reports sent to Thomas Edison State University should provide the official University code, 2748, at the time of testing.

Note: The five general examinations test what is usually taught in the first year of college and sometimes duplicate other credit students have earned. Refer to the academic policy on duplication of credit for additional explanation. The minimum score required to earn credit is equivalent to a letter grade of C, and scores resulting in credit recommendations will be posted on a Thomas Edison State University transcript as credit with no letter grade. 

This exam list coincides with the January 2019 TESU catalog year and after. If you are in a previous catalog year, please contact Academic Advising to determine which exams are appropriate for your specific catalog year.

* CLEP subject examination update. Thomas Edison State University has conducted an academic program review on this exam. Credit awarded for this exam will be considered TESU assessment credit, not TESU-CLEP credit, and will show on the official transcript under TESU assessment credit.
