Testing Policy

1. Examinees must complete the St. Edward's University CLEP registration process prior to taking any CLEP Test at SEU.

There is no admittance 15 minutes after the test session has begun: Examinees will not be allowed in the testing room after 2:45 pm on Friday test dates and 9:15 am and 11:15 am, respectively, on Saturday test dates. Examinees who fail to show on time must repeat the entire registration process, including registration fee.
6. Fees for the actual CLEP test ($72.00) are paid on the day of the test, prior to administration. Payments to CLEP may be paid by credit card, personal check, or U.S. money order. Cash payments for tests fees to CLEP are not accepted.
7. Study materials are provided by the College Board for a fee paid by the examinee. Examinees may purchase the CLEP Official Study Guide at any bookstore, including the SEU bookstore.

10. Individual testing is available for those who need testing before the next open group session. Date and time will be dependent on proctor's schedule. Registration is $50.00 and must be paid at the time of scheduling. Demand peaks towards the end of each semester. Scheduling tests at least 2 weeks prior to preferred testing date is highly recommended.

Special Accommodations Policy

1. Most special accommodations needed by an examinee can be met. Accommodations for CLEP testing must be made prior to or during registration. If the examinee fails to notify the proctor of special accommodations prior to registration, the examinee's test date must be rescheduled and entire registration process will need to be repeated.
2. The Counseling and Consultation Center will only accept documentation letters from Student Disability Services in Academic Planning and Support Services. Letters must be current and dated in the same semester of preferred test date.
