College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Testing Guide

Registration and Payment via My Account

All candidates must register and pay their exam fee via My Account, on the CLEP web site, at My CLEP Account. My Account is a self-serve feature that enables candidates to create and manage their own personal accounts, register/prepay for CLEP exams and purchase study materials all in one place.

Please contact the Testing Center by email at [email protected] to schedule an exam time. Email is the best form of communication for the RCTC Testing Center; the phone/voice mail is NOT a secure means of scheduling appointments.

There is a $20 proctoring fee that RCTC charges per exam. The fee can be paid at the cashier’s window on the first floor for Student Services (SS). Types of payment that RCTC accepts are Cash, Check, Visa or MasterCard. At your scheduled time, bring the receipt to the proctoring center (AT209) which is on the second floor of the Atrium (AT).

On the day of the test, please bring:

  • CLEP Exam Registration Ticket
  • Test proctoring fee
  • Acceptable and valid photo identification. The name on the ID must exactly match the name printed on the ticket.

Cell phones and other devices and materials are not allowed in the test center. Please refer to the information printed on the CLEP registration ticket for details.
