CLEP Exam

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on an exam. Earn credit for knowledge you’ve acquired through independent study, prior course work, on-the-job training, professional development, cultural pursuits or internships.

Students successfully completing the exams can request credit at the college level. To find out which exams UW-Whitewater accepts for credit, visit the Testing Office website.
