CLEP Exam

CLEP (College Level Examination Program) is available at the Belle Glade, Boca Raton, and Palm Beach Gardens campuses. CLEP is a series of examinations that allow individuals to earn college credit for what they know, regardless of where they gained knowledge. CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the United States.

Two ID's (photo and signature) are required when taking a CLEP exam at a Palm Beach State test site. The primary form must be a government issued photo ID with signature, such as a passport, state issued driver's license, state issued ID card, tribal ID, naturalization card, or certificate of citizenship.
The secondary form of ID must have a photo or signature, such as a social security card, student ID, or employee ID. Military candidates must submit a current military ID.

An individual will not be permitted to take the exam(s) without two acceptable photo ID's. There are no exceptions.
