Available Tests and Testing Hours
Who is Eligible?
Examinations are available to DANTES-funded active duty military servicemembers and eligible civilian employees and, on a space-available basis, to all other examinees who have a U.S. military ID card.
Please note: For some exams, an additional $35 sitting fee for testing will be payable to UMGC Europe. Sitting fees can be paid via credit or debit card at the NTC. We cannot accept cash payments for sitting fees at this time.
- If you are taking a DANTES-funded exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking a Pearson VUE exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking non-funded CLEP or DSST exams (including any retake exams by active-duty servicemembers), the $35 sitting fee will apply per exam title (e.g., if you take two CLEP exams during one testing session, a $35 sitting fee will be charged twice for a total of $70).
- If you are taking ASE exams, the $35 sitting fee will be charged for each 3-hour appointment, no matter how many exam titles are completed during the appointment.

How to Register
CLEP registration is a two-part process:
- Create an account, register for an exam, and receive a voucher registration ticket with CLEP College Board. Candidates must bring the corresponding CLEP registration ticket on the day of testing.
Note: Active duty/reserve military members only will check a box that states they are eligible for DANTES-funded exams during the registration process.
By selecting this and providing the necessary information, the exam total will be $0.00 when you confirm the order at the end of the registration process. If eligible DANTES-funded exam candidates do not select this box during the registration process, it will associate a fee with the exam. - Schedule an appointment through the NTC reservation system.
