DSST "Here's To Your Health" - Anyone receive UL credit from EC after 2013?
#1
Hi All,

I'd greatly appreciate hearing from anyone enrolled at EC who has taken and received Upper Level credit for the DSST "Here's To Your Health". My Adviser says that since HTYH is listed as Lower Level on the DSST website, it is now considered Lower Level....However, I pointed out to him that HTYH is listed as UPPER LEVEL credit in the EC catalog...It got me nowhere, so I'm delving a little deeper...

Again, if anyone has received UL credit at EC (after January 2013) for HTYH I'd be tremendously grateful if you could post this info here.

Thanks so much! Confusedeeya:

When did you take the exam? I just checked the ACE guide and it appears that the recommendation for UL credit is between 1/90 and 12/12. If you took it in that window you should receive UL credit. However, if you took it after 12/31/12 the recommendation is for LL credit. They probably made some adjustments to the exam and based on the data or lack of data decided to make the LL recommendation.

March 2014, according to my current plan Excelsior credited me with upper level credit in the Free Elective / Applied Professional area... which is now useless to me, essentially, since I need all 30 of my upper division courses in Arts & Sciences areas for my degree now that I switched to the BA program.

So according to the ACE credit look up, that's wrong. But to be fair, DSST was still listing it as upper level on their website when I took it, while they're listing it as lower level now. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it gets downgraded when my stuff gets evaluated for graduation.

Excelsior's credit by exam guide is two years out of date now, I think. Considering all of the recent changes to DSST's offerings, I wouldn't rely on it.

My university (Regis University) just sent a blast email informing all students that this course will now only be accepted as a lower level elective. It seemed to acknowledge a general trend toward only LL approval.
