CLEP AND DSST TESTING
Important Announcement: Changes to Testing Services
In preparation for upcoming facility renovations, Saint Leo University's National Test Center has temporarily suspended on-base CLEP/DSST Testing services. We anticipate resuming services upon the completion of renovations in the fall of 2025, featuring upgraded facilities for an enhanced testing experience.
During this transition, we're excited to offer alternative options to meet your testing needs:
- Remote Proctoring: CLEP and DSST now offer the convenience of taking exams from home with remote proctoring. This ensures the same high-quality testing experience with the added flexibility of testing from your preferred location.
- Local Test Centers: You can also schedule your exam at a CLEP or Prometric (DSST) exam center near you, providing convenient access to testing facilities.
Remember, DANTES will fund the first attempt at an exam for military members. Simply select "DANTES Funded" during the registration process to take advantage of this opportunity.
Thank you for your understanding during this transition period. We're committed to providing exceptional testing services and look forward to serving you in the future.
Please visit the following websites to register for your CLEP/DSST exams:

DSST: prometric.com/test-takers/search/dantes
