The College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) has been a widely trusted credit-by-examination program for over 50 years, accepted by 2,900 colleges and universities and administered in more than 1,800 test centers. This program allows students from a wide range of ages and backgrounds to demonstrate their mastery of introductory college-level material and earn college credit. Students can earn credit for what they already know by getting qualifying scores on most CLEP examinations. Visit the Broward College CLEP Equivalencies webpage for specific details on which examinations the College accepts as well as the specified credit equivalencies.
Effective July 1, 2022, CLEP exams will be kept by College Board for 10 years. The new policy applies to any CLEP exams scored after this date. Students who took CLEP exams prior to the new policy taking effect on July 1, 2022 can still contact CLEP Services to request scores for exams taken up to 20 years ago.
The Broward College Testing and Assessment Centers deliver most current CLEP exams.
