Accommodations for students with disabilities

If you have a learning or physical disability that would prevent you from taking a CLEP exam under standard conditions, you may request accommodations from the Academic Success Center. Contact us 5 days in advance of your exam date to make the necessary arrangements, submit documentation and receive approval of accommodations.

Post-CLEP exam steps

  • Immediately after testing you will see your score.
  • The first step is to ensure that you have requested your Official CLEP Scores to be sent to MNU. MNU’s CLEP code is 6437. Remember, CLEP results take a few weeks to be sent.
  • Once your results are received, the registrar’s office will send you a letter of eligibility. With a score of 50 or better on the CLEP test, you will be eligible for 3 hours of credit.
  • The letter will have further instructions on how either to apply those credit hours to your student record at MNU or waive the requirement entirely.

If you have questions about CLEP exams, please contact the Academic Success Center, 913.971.3387 or testing@mnu.edu.
