College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

 

The CLEP Exam: Each CLEP examination is 90 minutes long. With the exception of English Composition with Essay, and the language tests, the exams are composed of two sections of multiple-choice questions. The English Composition with Essay Examination, which satisfies the Written Communication Requirement in the Holt School, consists of a 45-minute multiple-choice section and a 45-minute essay section. The foreign language tests all have a listening section.

When and Where: We administer CLEP examinations at the Holt office by appointment only. Call 407/646-2232 to schedule an appointment, or send an e-mail to cholt@rollins.edu. Students must bring photo identification with them to the test session. You fill out a registration form and pay for the exam at that time.

How to pay for a CLEP exam: There are two fees involved: The CLEP testing fee of $70 per test beginning July 1, 2008 and the Rollins administration fee of $15. If you pay by credit card (the preferred method), American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and check are accepted for the CLEP fee; MasterCard, Visa, check or cash for the Rollins fee. If paying for both by check, please make TWO checks: one payable to CLEP in the amount of $70.00 and the other payable to Rollins College in the amount of $15.00.

YOUR CLEP scores: You will receive a copy of your CLEP score at the end of the testing session. ETS will send official score reports within a few days. (Allow extra time for English Composition with Essay.) You will receive from the college a notice of credit awarded and equivalencies with two to three weeks after the exam date.

 

Holt School CLEP Policies

Students enrolled at the Holt School may earn college credit by attempting the CLEP in any given subject area and reaching the credit-granting scores acceptable by the College. See the chart on the reverse side for individual accepted tests scores.

Students may earn a maximum of 36 semester hours of credit by exam. CLEP general or subject examinations will not be used to fulfill major, minor, or general education requirements, with three exceptions: a score of 65 or higher on the English Composition with Essay fulfills the “W” requirement; a score of 50 or higher on Analyzing & Interpreting Literature, American Literature, English Literature fulfills the “L” requirement; and a score of 50 or higher on U.S. History I or II or Western Civilization I or II fulfills the “H” requirement. Any other CLEP hours awarded come in as free elective credit.

Currently enrolled students attempting to earn CLEP credit should first determine their eligibility for the credit by checking with their academic adviser.
