CLEP/DSST transfer equivalence to Excelsior Bachelor requirements?

Oof that's rough. I was hoping I could lock into their catalog and work on my transfer credits first... How does the TECEP method work- do I just pay online or have to request it with them? I'm an international student so I'm not sure I could take a TECEP exam even if I wanted to, would that be an issue of me being able to pay for it, since I won't or can't take it? This seems like a strange grey area, do they have a policy on this?

Once your application is accepted, you would log onto Online Student Services (OSS). Click on the link that says "Search, Register, or Drop Courses". Choose the "Search, register and pay for courses" option again.  Term, you'd select whatever term is next. Subject: Applied Science and Technology. The first entry should be Medical Terminology with the instruction method of TECEP Examination. You select that box, submit, and then go through the payment process. 

Everything is entirely online, no need to directly request anything from TESU. It is a bit of a grey area, yes. There is no direct policy on it except that you need to either take a course or a TECEP to be an enrolled student. It just so happens that there's a loophole where you don't actually have to sit for the TECEP exam for their system to count you as having taken it. 

The TECEPs are entirely online, these days, so you can take them even if you are international. They use ProctorU which is, really, not the best. But it's still not a bad way to get some of these credits: https://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php

Thank you for your explanation! Would you suggest that I first enroll in a TECEP then as soon as my application is accepted since I want to work on my transfer credits and still have to send transcripts from multiple places?

What grades show up on TESU transcripts for transferred credits? Will my final grade only be from the cornerstone and capstone if everything else is transferred? Do I need a high percentage from the cornerstone and capstone courses to pass?
