CLEP
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) offers students the opportunity to obtain college credit by examination. Each college or university is individual and independent in setting CLEP policy. The student should check with the college or university where he/she is enrolled to learn about its CLEP requirements. If the score on the examination is acceptable to the institution where the student is enrolled, the student may receive credit. No quality points are awarded, only credit hours.
The student can mail or email the completed registration/admission form to Academic Computing at Mississippi College. Only one examination per person will be given on a single test date.
The student will need to make out two checks:
- one to CLEP for $80
- one to Mississippi College for a $50.00 administration fee which is non-refundable.
You can email the completed registration/admission form to sun@mc.edu and carry the checks when you take the test. If you want to mail the checks with registration form, please mail to:
