College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
McNeese State University is an official computer based test site for CLEP. Students may take CLEP exams to earn credit for specific courses. CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. A college usually grants the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination as it grants to students successfully completing that course. Contact the Registrar's Office for required minimum score, 337.475.5145. A listing of specific course equivalencies can be found below.
