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://clep.collegeboard.org/register/exam. 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://clep.collegeboard.org/test-preparation
