CLEP
Students enrolled at Gadsden State may potentially be awarded college credit based on scores achieved on one or more College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. Test scores are evaluated by the Registrar's Office, equated to specific courses offered by Gadsden State and recorded on a student's transcript if credit is awarded.
CLEP tests are only administered at the East Broad campus testing center in Gadsden. Students must schedule a test appointment online after test registration and payment has been completed through the CLEP website. Please note, there is a $15 administrative fee payable at the Gadsden State Community College Business Office prior to arrival for testing.
