How do I know which CLEPs will apply? - wuxbustah8 - 03-01-2013
I can't seem to find this anywhere. I have my degree plan and I'm trying to CLEP as much as I can. I've already Clepped a few courses for my CCAF but now I'm onto my bachelors. When I was taking the CCAF they had a list of CLEPs that would count and what they would count towards.
I'm going to Trident University if that helps any.
Thanks!

I would suggest calling the transfer office at the school and ask them. If you are not able to find it on the website, they might have the information if you ask for it.

Trident isn't often discussed here, I doubt you will find a solid answer....go to the Trident website and use their search feature for "CLEP and DSST".
It's up to the receiving school what they will accept, how many, and towards which particular course.
Is Trident a Regionally accredited school? What made you choose them?

Actually when I searched through our Virtual Education Center, it was one of the only colleges that would accept my CCAF completely in my degree. I didn't want to lose out on a bunch of credits so I figure I'll go with them for this, if I don't like it I can always switch for my Masters.

Is this the place? University Tuition & Fees - Trident University Gonna run you $250/credit ...that's rather pricey for what I believe to be a Nationally accredited school....I don't think it's worth doing if that's the case. You can find Regionally Accredited (that's the "gold" standard) schools that are considerably cheaper and have a better reputation.
Have you looked at AMU/APU, or your local State University?

I don't know trident....I might be off base.

Trident is regionally accredited through. I'll go back through and look but this one was highly recommended by my supervisor as he just finished his bachelors in the same field.
I came from University of Phoenix, so they have to be a step up from that... lol.
And on the price, it doesn't really matter. I get my classes paid for and I probably won't go over that with this cost per credit.
Thanks for the responses though, I sent my advisor a message and hopefully he'll get back to me on the CLEP's.
