True, UC doesn't accept CLEP or DSST but there are a whole host of Cal State institutions that DO. They have more campuses and are less expensive to boot. Every single CC in CA has articulation agreements with the CSU and UC system, so one could use the examinations at a CC or CSU and transfer to that pricey UC if they so chose. Some CC's have articulation agreements with private institutions as well (one example: RCC to Cal Baptist).
I used my CLEP credits at a CC and transferred in with an AS. I earned a few scholarships, so the cost wasn't a factor in choosing a UC. In fact, I chose it because it was literally down the 91 from my CC, and I could continue to use the on-campus childcare at my "CC alma mater". (RCC to UCR)
If you want to use SL credits in CA, you can consult with the admissions office on whatever campus you're attached to, or transfer those credits to a community college. This is especially true for homeschooled students, who have different admissions criteria.
