The second, the exam fee, is a $70 credit card (preferred payment method), check or money order payable to College-Level Examination Program, which may be sent in with your registration (except credit card), or paid on the day of the test. No cash is accepted for a CLEP test.
If you are registering for more than one CLEP test, you may increase your fees for Baldwin-Wallace College according to the number of tests you will be taking, and submit in one check or money order. However, a separate $70 payment to College-Level Examination Program is required for each exam, even if you are taking multiple tests on the same day. You may mail or drop off the required registration form to the Adult and Continuing Education office in the Bonds Administration Building, Room 102; however, the testing date will not be confirmed until the Baldwin-Wallace administration fee is received.
