CLEP, College Level Examination
Program, is a division of the College Board−the same people that bring
us SAT and ACT testing. The University of Maine is an official CLEP
testing center. Although UMaine students, as well as community members,
may opt to take any and all exams offered by the College Board, only
specified exams will be granted credit at the University of Maine.
Students attending other institutions of higher education should check
with their program coordinator for verification on which exams they will
receive credit for. Primarily comprised of multiple-choice questions,
the 90-minute examination covers general material relevant to the
subject matter. The majority of successful CLEP exams earn the students
three-degree credit hours.
