That's correct.

However, Excelsior only allows a maximum of SIX credits of English Composition.

If you fulfill the Written English Requirement (WER) with a 3-credit exam such as ECE College Writing, or TESC English Composition I, and also pass the 6-credit CLEP English Composition, you would still only receive SIX total English Comp credits. In this case, the CLEP English Comp exam will only earn 3 additional credits instead of the full 6 (as Humanities electives).

If you fulfill the WER with Excelsior's 6-credit English Composition exam, you would instantly earn all six permissable English Comp credits. In this case, the CLEP English Comp exam will not earn you any credits at all.

Hope that makes sense,
