Earning College Credit By Exam
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) program is a resource many incoming college students overlook, one that can save students hundreds of dollars in tuition and fees and help them stay on track for timely graduation. CLEP exams are available in many subjects and passing CLEP scores can be accepted for full course credit in over 30 UCF courses.
