CLEP Testing

The Testing Services office offers CLEP proctoring services for MSU Denver students. Students attending other institutions are also welcome to schedule CLEP appointments with MSU Denver Testing Services.

Step One: Determine which CLEP exam fits your needs

Students may consult with a Prior Learning Specialist for questions about which CLEP exams are appropriate for their academic goals using this address: [email protected]

Students may also consult with an academic advisor or with an academic department regarding selection of appropriate CLEP exams.

Students from other schools should consult with their institution regarding selection of appropriate CLEP exams.

Step Two: Purchase a CLEP test registration ticket and prepare for your exam

Purchase a test voucher from CLEP’s website. See www.clep.org to get started. Be sure to purchase the specific test for your needs based on your conversation with the Prior Learning Specialist or an academic advisor. MSU Denver students should choose MSU Denver as the score recipient to ensure CLEP reports the exam results to the correct institution. CLEP candidates must present a printed copy of their test voucher at the time of their exam appointment.
