Anybody Getting a Good Job with Distance Learning Degrees?

Speaking of GPA how do your scores effect your GPA at both Thomas Edison and Excelsior.

Carlos,

The grade that you receive on the CLEP and TECEP exams does not count towards your GPA, and you only receive a "Pass/Fail" for these exams. However,the grades on the DANTES exams and ECE exams (Excelsior's exams) do count towards your GPA. (You would have to look up what score would equal an "A", etc. for Excelsior and Thomas Edison to see what it does to your GPA).

For example, say you have taken the following exams and classes:

CLEP Business Law - Pass
DANTES Intro to Business - A
DANTES Statistics - C (hey...it was a hard test! )
CLEP Management Infor Systems - Pass
ECE Labor Relations - A
DANTES Intro to Supervision - A
College Algebra (at a university) - B

To get your GPA, you would only add up the classes and the DANTES/ECE exams (in this case that equals 5) and then divide that total by that number of classes/exams. As you probably know, an "A" is counted as 4 points, a "B" is counted as 3 points, and a "C" is counted as 2 points. So for the above class/exams, that would equal 4+2+4+4+3=17. Take 17 divided by 5 to get a GPA of 3.40.

I'm not sure if that answers your question, but maybe it will help someone out there! :p

P.S. One thing I am not entirely SURE about, however, is if ALL of the CLEP's are now "pass/fail" only...anyone know for sure??
