Transferring letter grades from EC?

Hello everyone this is my first post. I've completed several CLEP tests with the help of IC and it has worked great. I'm currently enrolled at TESC and I've found out that CLEP and DANTES tests only show up as pass/fail while EC gives them a letter grade. Would I be able to report my scores to EC get a letter grade and transfer that credit to TESC while keeping that letter grade on my TESC transcript?

Each school evaluates your CLEP/DANTES credits according to their OWN rules. One school might award you credit for certain exams that another school won't accept at all. One school might award a passing grade, whilst another school awards you a letter grade. One school might accept anything above a 50 as a passing score, whilst another school might require you to score higher. Remember, when you transfer credits into a school, they are free to accept, reject, or re-evaluate anything they want to. This applies to CLEP/DANTES credits as well as course credits from other schools. Since TESC's policy is to assign only a 'P' grade to all CLEP and DANTES exams, that is what they will place on your TESC transcript EVEN IF you were already awarded letter grades for the same exams elsewhere. Hope that helps, Snazzlefrag

While EC does award a letter grade for dsst's they only grant p/f for cleps.

But a DSST won't show up a letter grade if transferred from EC to TESC?

You can't fail if you never give up
