Hello,
I just heard about the Dantes Intro to Computing and would like to take this test. Does anyone know if Excelsior college accepts taking this Dantes PLUS the CLEP intro to Computer?
I already took the CLEP and before I waste my Sunday studying for this exam (before I can call Excelsior to find out) I thought, someone here might now.
Hope you can help,
Thanks,
kckusek

Excelsior considers them duplicate credit. I think you can have both put on your transcript, if you like, but you can't use both to satisfy degree requirements. Also, Excelsior awards letter grades for the DSST exam, but the Clep exam is only pass/fail credit. Something to keep in mind if you need a GPA boost.

I took both last month specifically on the (unsolicited) advice from my Excelsior counselor that they were NOT duplicate.

You are absolutely correct! Sorry, I made a mistake. My apologies to the group.

Hi Barcotta,

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I checked on Monday morning with my advisor and got approval for the exam.

Now I think I can meet my goal of being done in two weeks.
