DSST Upper levels and EC

[BurnieGirl]

Are any of our military credits uppers for EC. You know, PMEs? There's gotta other AF peeps that can helps us out! If I have to, I will post my military credits.

Hey BurnieGirl,
me and you are in like identical situations.
Im getting my BSLS w/ no major at Excelsior, but I haven't enrolled yet.
My lil strategy is to just take all the DSSTs on the list from the Air Force testing center. If you fail a couple of em, it's all good cuz as long as you're not enrolled yet to Excelsior, you can have Prometric (the DSST operators) send Excelsior JUST the ones you passed when you do enroll.
Once you got the list of tests youve done and got UL credits for, look into other options like the above mentioned ALEKS - if you havent checked it out already, its basically just an at home intro to stats course you can do at home that if you applied yourself you could get done with it in a few days - then have ACE send over the transcripts to Excelsior and they should count it as UL. If youve already done a LL stats course, tell Excelsior to throw that one out and replace it with the ALEKS course when it comes in. I havent done this yet, but I asked an admissions counselor at Excelsior if that was possible and she said it should be.

Anyway - and depending on how many credits you got left, you could look into a couple of Penn Foster courses or take a couple ECE exams - but im pretty much 99% sure you will have to take a capstone course. Which is all right i guess cuz thatll remove 3UL that you wouldve otherwise had to worry about.

Anyway - ive been on this forum for tons of hours reading everybody's lil hints and manevuers and stuff, so hit me a PM if you want and i can try to answer all your preguntas.
Since we're in the same situation and branch and all that, i figure if you got a question and i dont know it, ill look it up for you cuz itll probably apply to me too.

No, all PME is lower level credit hours, as CCAF is only accredited for associates degrees. Air University is working on changing that, but that's the current status.

Hi BurnieGirl!

I saw the evaluation of your application posted here:

What did EC say about a capstone and a second depth requirement?
