College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Students can earn course credit at UTRGV in a wide variety of subject areas through CLEP Subject Examinations, which are standardized 90-minute, multiple-choice tests.

UTRGV does not grant CLEP credit for a class in which the student has received a letter grade. Letter grades do not include courses in which a student has dropped or withdrawn. These exams are administered by the UTRGV Testing Center several times a month throughout the academic year. For available test dates, contact the:

Testing Center
1601 Price Rd., Suite E Resaca Village Brownsville, TX 78520 Phone: 956-882-8875	1407 East Freddy Gonzalez Dr. CESS Building Edinburg, TX 78539 Phone: 956-665-7570	testing@utrgv.edu

Listed below are subject areas in which UTRGV credit can be earned through the CLEP testing program, along with the required minimum score for each test. (The minimum score usually represents successful completion of 35 to 50 percent of the questions on an examination.) UTRGV credit is posted to a student’s transcript once the official score report is sent to UTRGV (approximately three weeks after exam) and after he or she officially enrolls at the university. CLEP credit cannot be used to clear financial aid deficiencies.

Students who do not plan to enroll at the university are also permitted to take CLEP tests at the UTRGV Testing Center. However, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the institution at which she/he plans to enroll in order to verify which CLEP tests are accepted for credit.

In order to prepare for CLEP testing, students may purchase The Official Guide for the CLEP Examinations at the UTRGV Bookstore or order it from The College Board website at: www.collegeboard.com/clep. Students are also recommended to obtain an appropriate textbook and/or study guide for the specific test(s).
