Excelsior is retiring UExcel exams! This month!

[carrythenothing]

I just took the UExcel for Social Psychology in January 2021. I considered a few more, but the Pearson remote ID confirmation and setup was a bigger hassle than I've ever had with ProctorU over EVERY exam. 

Do I still want to take Bioethics, Gerontology, and Juvenile Delinquency for myself? If so, then I'm going masked to a Pearson testing center. If anyone has any other alt credit listings for those besides Study.com that I was using to prepare, I would be grateful.

My Dual Enrollment student was looking at the Weather and Climate UExcel, same provisions only in person. Also attempting to get a Private Pilot License, and understands that basic meteorology is definitely a good subject to know. Again, the only other alt source I know is Study.com's Meteorology.

TECEP has a Meteorology exam.

Thanks, Rosy! I forgot about that one, hoping for ones that could be taken at the college testing center. :-)

You can request pen/paper format and an in-person proctor for most TECEP exams: https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/proctor-requests

Actually, I just noticed that Davar also offers a Meteorology course exam. The catch is that it's not ACE-approved, only NCCRS.

Here's my thread on TESU in-person proctoring:

I've done eight exams at my local library. It works okay-ish, likely better than ProctorU. Just need to stay on top of things and watch out for issues.

Excelsior College will no longer offer UExcel exams after the Summer 2022 trimester. If you are interested in taking a UExcel exam(s), the deadline for registration is Thursday, June 30. The last day to take a UExcel exam is Sunday, August 21.

I know it's an old thread, but I had to comment.   I'm helping an employee get a degree and JUST found out that UEXCEL exams were gone.  It is so disappointing because there were a number that were not duplicates of other CBE organizations.

Fortunately, there are even more options for degrees now than there were when UExcels were a thing. Maybe not quite as easy for some people as testing out, but UMPI and TAMUC have some great degrees available for fast/cheap.
