The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national system of credit by examination.  To view U of A information for CLEP exams, see the U of A Policy for CLEP Credit

Note that the University will not award credit for a CLEP exam if you already have credit for a higher level math course.

What do I need to do to add the next U of A Math course based on my Math credit? If your credits are not in the U of A system, make sure you send an unofficial score report to the Math Placement Office.

If you haven’t already, send an Official Score Report to the U of A Registrar through the College Board CLEP Program site. 

It is the student's responsibility to make sure they are enrolled in the correct U of A Math course after CLEP credits are processed into the U of A system. Students can contact the Math Placement Office for additional information.

  1. Register and pay the exam fee for the appropriate U of A accepted Math CLEP exam through clep.collegeboard.org/exams. NOTE: Not all CLEP exams are accepted for credit by the University of Arizona. See the link above for currently accepted exams.
