Important Notes

Registering for Exams

All students in Michigan, West Virginia, and Ohio must register for exams online and use the voucher code in lieu of payment. Low-income students must use a voucher code when they register so that schools are invoiced for the correct number of reduced price exams. Students will see the full exam fee during registration, and the reduced price will be applied to the school invoice.

Invoices

We'll bill schools twice a year for tests taken with a voucher—once in January and once in July. Before invoices are generated, we'll send a survey asking schools to confirm the number of their low-income students who took CLEP exams.

Ordering Vouchers

We recommend ordering at least 20% more vouchers than you think you'll need. Schools pay only for the tests taken with a voucher, and there's no penalty for overordering.

Who Qualifies for Reduced-Fee Exams?

In general, any student who's eligible for free or reduced-price lunch through the National School Lunch Program is also eligible for a reduced-price CLEP voucher.

Offer CLEP Testing at Your School

Although students can test at any official CLEP test center, they may perform better if they test in a familiar setting. If your school would like to administer CLEP to your students, apply to become a CLEP test center.
