College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
What is CLEP?
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national testing service that provides students an opportunity to demonstrate college-level learning from experiences outside the classroom. Black Hawk College participates by awarding credit based upon CLEP scores according to the established college policies given below. Black Hawk College grants institutional credit based upon CLEP scores only to students who are currently enrolled or who have earned college credit at the college. Transferability of CLEP credit is subject to the policies of the transfer school. All CLEP examinations are in addition to, not a replacement of, other forms of proficiency examinations, including departmental proficiency examinations. No grades are assigned for credit received through CLEP. Students who would like to complete Black Hawk College credit on the basis of CLEP scores should contact Enrollment Services for specific details and equivalencies.
To earn credit at Black Hawk College, have CLEP send your score report to Black Hawk College. We will review your score report and contact you regarding your next step in obtaining credit. There is a $10 recording fee per course.
