applicant's ability to meet our criteria for readiness in math and English.
Both exams are taken on computer, and each lasts from a half-hour to an
hour. The examinations are free of charge.
To schedule an exam please call Academic Support at (706)

• CLEP
CLEP (College-Level Examination
Program) tests offer you the chance to receive credit for a course without
actually taking the course. CLEP is useful for a student who is short on
graduation requirements, wants to skip general introductory courses and move
onto classes relevant to his or her major.
CLEP testing
at Piedmont lists the tests and corresponding
courses for which Piedmont accepts credit.
For more information call (706) 778-3000 ext. 1359 or email
