Our CLEP Policy
In order to take a CLEP exam at Blackhawk Technical College, you must register with CLEP and then schedule your exam with our Testing Center.
CLEP Exam Fees
Each CLEP exam costs $87 (to be paid directly to CLEP), along with a $25 administration fee to be paid directly to Blackhawk Technical College's Registration and Records on the day of your scheduled test. Beginning July 1, 2024, the cost for CLEP testing is increasing to $95 per test.
Testing Requirements
Please print and bring your registration ticket along with your driver's license, passport, or other government-issued identification that includes your photograph and signature. You will be asked to show your ticket and identification to be admitted to the testing area. The last name(s) on your ID must match the name on your registration ticket.
Please review our Testing Center Policies prior to your exam day. Cell phones, calculators, tablets, PDAs of any kind, beepers, alarm watches, books, papers, and food are not allowed in the testing room. A calculator is provided if your exam requires you to use one. Each exam lasts approximately two hours. Please plan accordingly.
