CLEP
The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) provides students of any age with the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through a program of exams in undergraduate college courses. In order to have scores sent to UAA or MSC, students should talk with academic advisors to make sure the university accepts the desired exam score and the exam is appropriate for students’ degree programs.
Look up the list of CLEP exams accepted at UAA/MSC. Visit the CLEP website for more information.
All examinees must create an account at the CLEP website in order to pay the CLEP test fee and register for exams. The registration will generate a ticket ID which will be required to access the computer exam on the test day. An additional proctoring fee of $33 is charged by MSC and is payable through the appointment scheduler or in Campus Cache (JKB 109).
Examinees also need to make an appointment through the Mat-Su College test scheduler and should note that the appointment scheduler requires 24 hours between registering and taking the test.
Some tests have additional paper essays that must be ordered 2 weeks in advance. The order fee is $10. Contact a proctor at the LRC (907-745-9713) to order the test.
On the test day, the proctor will ask to see a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) and the fee receipt. For more information, call (907) 745-9713 or email matsutesting@alaska.edu.
Those taking language tests should bring personal headsets or arrange to check them out from the Okeson Library.
