So read what they say VERY CAREFULLY, you can only take General Exams (there are only 5)- and since they don't take English or Math, you can only take:
US History and Social Studies
Natural Sciences
Humanities

Also, you need to do these BEFORE classes start. No exams while you are a degree seeking student.

Also, just being sure you saw the line in there where anyone with
"an honorable
discharge may receive six semester hours of elective credit.
To qualify for this credit, a copy of the DD214 should be
presented with the application for admission"

Be sure to grab that.

University restrictive? Yes. That's typical. There are 2 things you could do, neither are worth really doing in my opinion, but they are technically possibilities for speeding up.

1. Use AP exams instead of CLEP. Starting on page 66 you'll see they have a VERY GENEROUS AP exam acceptance policy. There are issues with taking AP exams, mainly that you'd probably already have missed the registration deadline AND you'd have to do them NOW at a high school willing to let you sit in.

2. Use a community college first. When you do this, enrolling in an official articulation agreement means that the university accepts your CC degree as a "block" of credit- they don't evaluate each individual credit. When that occurs, the CLEPs are swept into the block, thus, if you find a CC with generous CLEP policy, you can do use the CC's policy which will trump the university's.
