CLEP is a nationwide program that allows students to earn college credit by examination.

CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements during the first two years of college. Scores of 50 or better on the Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences/History exams earn nine ungraded "pass" quarter credits. OSU does not award credit for the English general exam.

The amount of credit usually equals the amount of credit earned by someone successfully completing the course.
