College Level Examination Prep (CLEP)
College Level Examiniation Prep (CLEP) was created to help individuals with prior knowledge in a college course subject earn their degree efficiently and inexpensively. That prior learning could have taken place through advanced high school courses, independent reading and study, online courseware or textbooks, noncredit courses, or on-the-job training. Anyone interested in earning college credit and saving time and money can take a CLEP exam.
Riverland Community College will accept CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exams as equivalents for many of its courses. Listed below are the CLEP exams available and their Riverland Course equivalent. A minimum score of 50 is required on all CLEP exams except for certain foreign language exams. A student must provide the college with an official report of CLEP examination scores in order to receive credit.
