TIPS ON REGISTERING FOR A CLEP EXAM

You will also receive an unofficial copy of your score for your records immediately after the examination (except for College Composition).

If you do not indicate where you would like your score sent when you register on clep.collegeboard.org, you can always request a transcript at a later time for a fee using the Transcript Request Form. The Test Center at Lehman College does not send scores to schools.
