CLEP Testing

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations are offered in over 33 subject areas and cover material generally taught in introductory college-level courses. Students take CLEP exams to demonstrate their competency in a particular subject area in order to bypass a course. CLEP exams are computer-based, consisting mainly of multiple-choice questions. Scores are generated and provided at the completion of each exam, except for those with essays.

For a listing of UVI courses that are eligible for CLEP, please visit the University of the Virgin Islands page.
