Ive already sent all my CLEP and DANTES scores to my Excelsior credit bank for letter grades. Now I am wondering if they do that for aleks courses as well since ive completed all of the aleks math and stats courses. Any advice? Or better yet, anyone have first hand knowledge of Excelsiors policy towards aleks courses?
I'm almost done with my degree at TESC, I'm just trying to raise my GPA as much as possible before I send all my transcripts to the LSDAS for applying to law schools.
Thanks!

Well, actually, I am looking forward to your update on this.

As far as I know (for EC students), EC does not give grades for CLEP or ALEKS. I know they used to give grades for CLEP but that stopped many years ago. They do give grades for the 2-digit DSST exams, but not the 3-digit refreshed DSSTs. I'd like to know if they handle these differently through their credit bank.
