CLEP-A-THON at UAA Testing Center - Nov. 8 and 9, 2019

by Michelle Saport  |   

UAA Testing Center will host a CLEP-A-THON this Friday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 9, at the University Center, Room 112. A CLEP-A-THON is a drop-in test day that allows the test taker to take as many CLEP exams as they can that day. Examinees are required to register, but can do so onsite with the assistance of Testing Center staff. Testing will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will conclude at 4 p.m.

For details, see below or download the CLEP-A-THON flyer.

How to register

Step 1: Register and pay for your exam on the CLEP website.

  • Create an online account, and submit your payment through the My Account portal.
  • The cost is $89. Make sure you use your name as it appears on your official ID. Pay with a debit or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, or JCB).
  • Military service members can take CLEP exams at no cost to the service member if they pass the test on the first attempt. Exam retakes are to be paid by the service member.

Step 4: Take your exam.

  • On exam day, you take the CLEP exam on a computer at the UAA Testing Center.
  • Location: 3901 Old Seward Highway, Room 112, Anchorage, AK 99503

Exams typically take 90-120 minutes to complete depending on the subject. Immediately after the exam, you'll receive an unofficial score report from the test center. If you selected an institution to receive your score during registration, the score will be automatically sent to the college or university once you complete the exam. It takes approximately 10-14 business days for a college or university to receive the score, and the institution may take additional time to review the score and award credit.

Will My Registration Ticket Expire? CLEP exam registration tickets expire six months from the date of purchase. The expiration date for your exam registration ticket can be found in My Account as well as on the CLEP exam registration ticket.

Military-funded test takers: A CLEP exam registration ticket will be automatically canceled six months from the date of purchase to prevent DANTES-funded test takers from losing their funding. There is no penalty for canceling a registration ticket. However, if your ticket is canceled, you will need to register for your exam again.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities If you have a disability, such as a learning or physical disability, that would prevent you from taking a CLEP exam under standard conditions, you may request accommodations at your preferred test center. Contact your preferred test center well in advance of the test date to make the necessary arrangements
