College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

UT Tyler Testing Center

Students can receive credit for what they already know by earning qualifying scores on any one or more of the 24 CLEP examinations accepted by The University of Texas at Tyler. See below for a list of acceptable examinations, scores and course credit.

Note: To accommodate for the number of students taking end of semester exams and finals, CLEP Exams will not be given the last two weeks of the semester or the immediate week after.  CLEP Exams will resume January 6 and May 12 respectively.
