The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows students to receive college credit for what a student already knows. CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program, with 33 exams and hundreds of examination sites, including the testing center on our Kenosha campus location, serving as a site for both Gateway students and the public.

Fees

CLEP exams have TWO separate fees:

  1. The nonrefundable testing center charge is $24.00 per test and MUST be PREPAID to ensure that a testing station will be reserved for you on the day of your CLEP examination. Fee must be paid no later than 24 hours in advance of the testing date as you will not be confirmed as an examinee for that date UNTIL this fee is prepaid.
  2. The CLEP testing fee is $95.00 per test whether you pass or fail. This fee will be paid to CollegeBoard at the time of your online CLEP registration. 

Please see the Current List of CLEP Exams accepted by Gateway Technical College.
