Thank you, drkjon

drkjon,

None of the DANTES or CLEP English exams will fulfill the Written English Requirement (WER) at Excelsior. Instead, you must take an Excelsior exam, a TECEP (Thomas Edison State College) exam, or take an Excelsior-approved course to fulfill this requirement.

Also, Excelsior will not apply more than a total of six credits of English Composition towards your degree. If you take a 3-credit course to fulfill your WER, and then also pass the 6-credit CLEP English Composition exam, you will only be allowed to apply three of the six credits earned for the CLEP. Furthermore, if you also then passed the 6-credit CLEP Freshman College Composition exam, you would not be allowed to use ANY of those credits since you would already have reached the six credit maximum.

Hope that helps to clarify it,
Snazzlefrag
