When to CLEP

[Kiwi Lover]

Different universities have different policies on accepting CLEPs. Some, like my former institution, claim they won't accept any tests taken without prior departmental approval. Others, like the Big 3, allow you to transfer in an seemingly unlimited number of tests. Does your son know which schools he's likely to want to attend? An increasing number of colleges and universities are making their catalogs and other policy documents available online.

Hi autoequip,

Before I discovered Excelsior, I was previously enrolled with Regis University, who only allowed you to test out of a limited number of courses to get the credits. So I agree with cinderly that it would be good to know which college he plans on attending so he can review what their testing policy is. It would be a shame to have him take a bunch of exams that he can't apply towards his degree. :o

Just my two cents'!
