College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

CSI accepts Subject Matter CLEP scores for equivalent courses. The student who submits official CLEP Subject Matter examination scores must make application and enroll at the College of Southern Idaho or be enrolled at the time of submission of CLEP scores.

If the scores submitted are at or above the scores indicated by the departments, the student will receive credit for the equivalent courses. The Subject Matter examination will show the corresponding CSI course number, title and credit with no letter grade. The transcript will show CLEP scores. Credits received in this manner count toward the credit requirements for graduation, but they are not computed in the student's grade point average.

The cost to take a CLEP exam is $80 paid to CLEP and a $15 administration fee paid to the College. In addition, the Records Office charges a fee of $22 per credit to add CLEP scores to a student's transcript. The tests are administered at the Campus Testing Center in the Academic Development Center located in the Meyerhoeffer Building. Call 732-6532 or 732-6569 for additional information.

The test is given by appointment only. The Official Study Guide for the CLEP exams is available at the Testing Center and on reserve in the CSI Library. Additional information on the CLEP exam can be found on CLEP's website.
