CLEP at UTSA
National CLEP examinations are offered weekly through the UTSA Testing Services offices.When scheduling a CLEP test date for a test with an essay component, a student should consider that it usually takes four weeks to receive essay score results.
The CLEP Subject and General Examinations accepted for credit by UTSA are listed in the table entitled “National Standardized Tests: Minimum Scores Required For Credit at UTSA” (listed below). UTSA is a test site for CLEP Subject and General Examinations.
The University of Texas at San Antonio grants credit to its students for 28 of the 33 CLEP exams, which are listed in the table, “National Standardized Tests: Minimum Scores Required for Credit at UTSA” below. To be eligible to receive UTSA credit for the CLEP exams, a student must have earned no college or university transcript credit in that subject area at the time he or she takes the examination.
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.
