UTSA is a test site for CLEP Subject and General Examinations. National CLEP examinations are offered weekly through the UTSA Testing Services offices.
Important scheduling note: It usually takes four weeks to receive essay score results.
UTSA grants credit to its students for 28 of the 33 CLEP exams.
CLEP 2022-2024
The CLEP Subject and General Examinations accepted for credit by UTSA are listed in the tables above.
Although it is not necessary to be a UTSA student to take a national CLEP test through the UTSA Testing Services office, no UTSA credit is awarded until the individual is registered for courses at UTSA. Individuals seeking credit from another college or university should check that institution’s credit by examination policies before registering for a national CLEP examination.
- UTSA students must select College Composition Modular on College Board to receive UTSA credit.
- CLEP fee is non-refundable
