University of Phoenix Test Scores Contact Information

I was trying to register to take a CLEP exam, to earn some credits and work towards finishing my degree at University of Phoenix, but I had trouble with a couple questions on the registration form. Question #22 on the CLEP registration form asked for information about the “Score Recipient”, which, in my case, is University of Phoenix. But the form asked for a “Code No.” and “Institution Name and Address”.

Here is the appropriate information, according to my academic counselor. She said it’s the only “Code No.” and “Institution Name and Address” that anyone needs, when trying to have any test scores (not just for CLEP tests) sent to UOP:

CLEP TEST CENTER ADMISSION FORM

22. Score Recipient:

Code No. 014593

Institution Name and Address:

Phoenix-Uopc-Student Services AA-K101
1221 N. College Ave
Tempe, AZ 85281


Okay… I just had to share that information publicly, since it was rather difficult for me to find. Now, I’ll discuss how hard it was for me to find it.

Well, I couldn’t find the information in any of the CLEP-related emails and documents that my academic counselors have sent me, over the past few years, so I searched on the UOP student website. I couldn’t find the code number, and did not know which of UOP’s addresses was the one to have test scores sent to. Since UOP has campuses all over the US (and beyond?), as well as a particularly large online presence, I didn’t know whether the scores should be sent to my local campus, or the main Phoenix, AZ campus, or what.

When I looked up UOP on the College Board’s website, I found a code number, and two addresses: some kind of main address, and the admissions office; both of which were in Arizona. I didn’t know which one to have the scores sent to.

So, I emailed my academic counselor, giving her the information I’d found, and asked which address to use. I was feeling impatient, though, because I’ve been procrastinating this CLEP stuff for a *very* long time, and was so close to finally dealing with it. So, I kept looking for the info, myself.

The main UOP website was not very useful, but I did run across some kind of “Chat with someone NOW” link, so I tried that. When I asked the person for the info that I needed, he was not sure, so he asked for my phone number, called me, and conferenced me in with my academic counselor. I felt bad for nagging her, since I had just sent her that email so recently, but she was able to find the information that I needed.

Hopefully the information is correct, and hopefully others will have an easier time finding it, now. I’ll post some sort of follow-up, to let you know how things go with my CLEP registration, as well as the subsequent score reporting.

    Heh, this sounds like something I would enter into my phonenumbers file. (”###” opens it with %EDITOR, “# regex” greps it for /regex/, and sync.bat copies it from work to home so i have it both places, and of course it gets auto-ftp’ed to my acm account).

    I hate crap like that.

    And… in other news… a LIVE CHAT THAT WORKS?!?! wow. :)

    I bet this page will get hits once google finds it and another semester or so passes.

    Re: Live chat that works: The live chat for Cowon worked about a month ago or so when I was trying to find out what was going on with the battery on my mp3 player that was supposed to last 14 hours and only lasted 2.

    Still waiting for my RMA to be returned - I paid them via paypal and haven’t heard anything else. I emailed them today.

    Do their correspondences give a timeframe for repair? If so, add a gcal reminder THE DAY AFTER. Contact them one last time then, give them 48 hours, and immediately file a paypal dispute.

    Coke and Pepsi. Every cola in TX is a coke, even if its really a pepsi. The CLEP site was asking for a “code no.” Here at UOP we call that the Federal School Code. (014593) Why your Academic Counselor was unable to make the connection is beyond me.

  5. ClintJCL Says:

    My academic counselor at Virginia Tech was unable to make the connection that I had mistakenly enrolled in a calculus that did not even count towards graduation (no wonder I aced it and it was my favorite class!). That $500 came out of MY pocket. I’d name her, if I could remember.
