Help figuring out what classes correspond
#1
I have a homeschooled senior. He wants to go to our local community college and do their law enforcement degree. I am having the hardest time figuring out corresponding CLEP,DSST and such for the classes offered. He plans on working on those this semester and over summer and starting with the college in the fall. 
I know that most of the common core classes will need to be in person. Anyone able to help a Mama out? Thank you
I did upload an attachment of his class list.

This depends greatly on the school. (Unfortunately, your attachment didn't upload. It happens sometimes, just try again.) There are a LOT of schools that do not accept DSSTs and only accept a handful of CLEP exams.

Does he want to attend a local community college? If he does I'd have him contact them to find out about what CLEP's they accept. DSST's aren't that widely accepted. They will also have limits on how many credits can transfer into the degree program.

One thing learned in the homeschooling life.... if you do CLEP in the summer after graduation, it has potential to negatively impact any scholarships, or grant programs. speaking that from personal experience. was otherwise eligible for a state grant except the date of the clep exam was after high school graduation date. I do wonder if we had waited on sending the clep exams a semester..... oh well. never know and it was only a small grant in any case. didn't lose out thousands.

are you willing to share which community college? maybe several sets of eyes working together can find the info on website?

Pueblo community college. I have already contacted them. He can have 75% of degree credits transferred in. I will be graduating him after he finishes the necessary classes. ( thank you for that, I hadn’t given that any thought) 
I do plan on emailing them with a final list to double check acceptance. 
These are the classes 
CRJ 135 Judicial Function
CRJ 145 Correctional process
CRJ 210 Constitutional law
CRJ 230 Criminology
LEA 105 Basic law

75% of the credits transferred in from CLEP or from another college? They may not accept 75% of the classes from CLEP. They may mean 75% of the credits from another school. I would definitely be very specific when asking questions. There aren't CLEP exams for every class out there.

Okay, yes, (assuming that this is the correct school) you can bring in up to 75% of a degree using things like CLEP and DSSTs: https://www.pueblocc.edu/prior-learning-assessment

However, of those specific classes, I don't believe that any of them are covered by CLEPs or DSSTs.

You can try checking out Penn Foster and Study.com to see if their courses can transfer over.  If not, for these 5 courses, take them at the community college.  Transfer all others in through ACE/CLEP.  Sometimes you can't get the maximum of 75% transferred in...  BTW, which program is he looking at?  The webpage shows two/three programs: https://www.pueblocc.edu/programs/crj

bjcheung77,
Thank you. It's for the police academy.

Maybe I didn't read closely enough, but I'm not sure which one would be applicable for attending the police academy.
