Students can earn college credit at Oakton in a variety of courses through CLEP testing.  Since Oakton is a national test site for CLEP, students can take the tests at our center and send their results to any college or university that accepts CLEP exams for credit. 

	CLEP offers 35 different exams in various disciplines.
	The tests are administered on computer at the Des Plaines Testing Center.
	Students must call the Testing Center (847) 635-1939 at least one week in advance to make an appointment for testing.
	Only two tests or one test with an essay may be attempted on the same test date.
	There is a $70 fee per test to CLEP and a service fee of $15 per test payable to Oakton Community College. Fees may be paid by credit card or check.

For descriptions of the CLEP exams, visit The College Board website. For information about CLEP, pick up a brochure in the Testing Centers or Student Services at either campus or call the Testing Center in Des Plaines (847) 635-1939.
