CLEP

National American University offers the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) for credit in a number of courses. The university follows the American Council on Education recommended scores to assign pass/fail. Students may earn credit hours toward graduation but are not awarded grades on these examinations.

IMPORTANT! In addition to the cost of the CLEP exam, there is a $20 non-refundable administration fee payable to National American University, which must accompany the examination. Information on current exam costs and payment options may be found on the CLEP website: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/reg.html. Students are advised to carefully read the information in item #19 on the registration form for more details.

To obtain copies of the CLEP Study Guide or individual subject guides online, go to http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/prep.html

Following are the CLEP exams accepted by NAU, as well as the equivalent courses and the number of credit hours. The minimum acceptable score for most computer-based CLEP exams is 50 (see exceptions on the language exams).
