Marshall - Thank you for looking into this policy. I also did not know that they don't split credits. If I had 59 credits and needed one credit to finish an associate degree and used a 3 credit CLEP, I wonder how they would handle that. (Without NFA, this would have happened to me.)
I have looked at the new guide a little bit more. They had already explained the foreign language policy and ICDL in the last guide. I had not noticed that before.
Now they have 15 DANTES listed as pass/fail as compared to 10 last time. Have more exams been refreshed?

From a quick glance it looks like the grading for these have changed (current/prior):
Intro to Business (400/46)
Business Mathematics (400/48)
Principles of Finance (400/46)
others I can think of that were updated recently:
Principles of Supervision
Criminal Justice
Also at BCC lifespan development is listed on their dsst sheet as 46/400. I initially thought it was a typo, but maybe a change on that exam is also in the works.:eek:
I'm taking quite a few in the next two months. Hope I can get to them before they are updated since I've already purchased the study textbooks/guides.

Thanks Bricabrac! I don't know why, but it never occurred to me that they would refresh/revise more of these. (Of course they will, but I just did not think of it.) If I want to take one for a grade at EC, I had better do it sooner rather than later. I, too, hope you get yours taken before they make more changes.

It says in the new brochure that they'll allow up to 33 credits for the GRE subject test exams. It was 30 credits max before as far as I know.

W,
They give 33 credits (the requirement for the Math Major) with something like an 87th percentile grade on the GRE Subject Math test.
Everything else is 30.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
Master of Education with a specialty in Rabbit-specific destructive munitions (or eLearning & Technology, I forget which)
Doctor of Philosophy in Wile E. Leadership with an area of specialty in Acme Mind Expansion - 2017 Hopefully
