UMUC’s National Test Center is now open! Please come in or call us to schedule your exam. The following exams are available:
CLEP
The College-Level Examination Program® (CLEP) gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of 34 examinations. Earn credit for knowledge you've acquired through independent study, prior course work, on-the-job training, professional development, cultural pursuits, or internships.
DSST (Formerly known as DANTES)
Whether you’re looking to start a new career or advance in your current job, a few more academic credits can make a big difference. And because you’re on your way to a college degree, the extra credits you earn through DSST will free you up to focus your time and energies on the courses you want to take. College credits are available in 38 unique subjects.
Pearson Vue
Pearson VUE offers IT certification and professional certification and licensure exams worldwide. Service members now have access to hundreds of exams at the National Test Center including Excelsior, GMAT and CompTIA exams.
Attention!.
Effective October 1, 2010, DANTES will no longer fund retests on CLEPs and DSST exams due to budget cuts. This makes studying and passing the first time around much more important. Currently, fees for CLEP exams are $77; DSST/DANTES exams are $80. Additionally, DANTES will stop funding certification exams beginning October 1, 2010. The GI Bill can fund some certification tests.
Please note:
If you are not eligible for a free retest, you will be assessed an additional fee of $20; that is, a CLEP exam will be $97 and a DSST/DANTES exam will be $100.
Please feel free to contact the National Test Center if you have questions or concerns.
