Cleping and Tranfering

[MAAlcantara1]

Hello everyone,

I am currently attending Nation University, A regionally accredated university in California. I am working on my AA degree and have used clep and dsst for 33 of the credits required. I plan on transfering to one of the Universities of california afterward for a BA in business. The thing however is that after reserching the schools, they do not recognize any cleps or DSSTs. If I were to transfer an AA degree, would I have to retake the courses I CLEPed out of?? Any information anyone could provide would be greatly apriciated. The University of California and National University are both acredited by the same regional acrediation agency if that at all plays any type of factor.

It can be very difficult to transfer schools without losing credits. It takes a lot of planning ahead to do so successfully. The CLEP policies and other requirements at each school can be so different. Knowing the requirements at the school where you want to get your BA from can be helpful to create a plan for the credits you are earning now.

Since you are transferring in-state, you may be helped by something called an articulation agreement. Search posts by Cookderosa for more information about this.

I hope this works out for you.
