Hi autoequip,

Before I discovered Excelsior, I was previously enrolled with Regis University, who only allowed you to test out of a limited number of courses to get the credits. So I agree with cinderly that it would be good to know which college he plans on attending so he can review what their testing policy is. It would be a shame to have him take a bunch of exams that he can't apply towards his degree.

Just my two cents'!
