College Level Examination Program—CLEP

The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives students the opportunity to receive college credit for course content they have already mastered through previous coursework or through life experiences. The computer-based program, offered through the College Board, is available in 18 subject areas from the Student Success Center. Students must take a CLEP test rather than the FHCHS Challenge Examination if there is a CLEP test available.

To qualify for a CLEP test, a student must:

  1. Have already taken college-level coursework or obtained equivalent knowledge and/or skill in the subject.
  2. Contact the Student Success Center for application materials.
  3. Complete the exam before the last trimester prior to graduation.
