Academic Honesty

San Juan College believes that the basis for personal and academic development is honesty. Personal commitment, honest work, and honest achievement are necessary characteristics for an educated person. Dishonesty is unacceptable.

Instances of academic dishonesty of any kind—using unauthorized materials, sharing information with another examinee, using technology inappropriately, misrepresenting oneself as someone else, or any other method—will not be tolerated. Examinees found to be cheating while testing in the SJC Testing Center will be stopped and the exam and any notes or other materials being used will be collected. The exam will be marked as Invalid, and the exam and any materials being used will be housed in the SJC Testing Center.

Why take CLEP exams?

By taking one or more CLEP exams in your strong subjects, you’ll…

• Save time. Get college credit for what you already know. Be rewarded for what you’ve learned through independent study, advanced high school courses, non-credit adult courses, or professional development.
• Save money. Compare the cost of a CLEP exam, just $95, to hundreds — even thousands — of dollars in tuition. CLEP exams are free to active military service members.
• Make college more interesting. Move right into advanced courses.
• Graduate on time. CLEP can help you to the finish line if you’re a few credits shy of graduating.
• Satisfy a proficiency requirement. Demonstrate you’ve already mastered the content of, for example, a basic math or language course. Great for dual-degree candidates or students just a few credits shy of graduation. 

Steps to schedule a CLEP exam:

1. Create your CLEP account at clep.collegeboard.org then “Get started with CLEP” and pay the exam fee of $95. SJC offers credit for the exams listed below only.
2. Pay the $35 non-refundable proctor fee at the SJC Business Office 505-566-3396. Save your receipt number.
3. Contact the Testing Center at 505-566-3139 to schedule your appointment. Your receipt number will be required.
