La Sierra University: Learning Support & Testing Center

La Sierra University is an open testing site, which means that we will test our own students as well as those from other colleges and universities. Actually, students do not have to be currently enrolled as a student anywhere to take the exam. La Sierra University now gives all CLEP tests on computer, as of July 1, 2001. Test takers will get their "unofficial" score reports within minutes of finishing the exam. Official CLEP scores will be sent to the college or university of your choice in approximately 3 weeks. To schedule an appointment, please call (951) 785-2453. To secure a testing appointment, test takers must pay a non-refundable scheduling fee of $20 to reserve a spot, as well as a $25 proctoring fee over the phone by credit card. Test takers will also pay $70 by credit card to ETS (Educational Testing Service) as they begin their test on the computer. However, test takers with an appropriate military ID will have the $70 fee waived. Please note that CLEP will be increasing their fee to $72 starting July 1, 2009.

Test takers may reschedule appointments up to one day in advances without any additional charge. Test takers may reschedule up to four times or within 6 months with no penalty. After that you will need to pay a $20 non-refundable rescheduling fee.
