Quick update and good news! After listening to the Registrar's office at TESC, I finally decided to call the DSST people last week and asked them to please update my score report to show six credits. I told them that their website said it was worth six credits, and told them I could send them screenshots to prove it. The rep I spoke to assured me they would fix it and call me back. I hadn't heard anything, so I called back today and the rep told me they had fixed the error and are sending out updated score reports by the end of this week! Phew! Hopefully anyone taking Criminal Justice in the future won't have any trouble. And hey, now I get three extra credits I wasn't expecting! :hurray:

This is great news thanks for the update!!
Not suprised to find it was actually prometrics error. How dumb to update their webiste and factsheet to 6 credits, but issue a transcript with 3.
Will you stop back once TESC has applied the credits to your student account to confirm the new exam course equivalency? I'm guessing AOJ102/AOJ103. What a nice surprise for current / future students to have another six credit exam that falls under social sciences.

Hold up- the DSST website AND ACE have both been updated to reflect this exam as 6 credits! It's a go!

I recently took the DSST in Criminal Justice in April. My evaluation just updated and it looks like TESC is using the current recommendation from ACE to award 6 credits. My evaluation is for BA CJ. It transferred in as AOJ 102 with 6 s.h. credits. Since there was an overage for the justice administration section, I need 3 less elective credits. I also took Intro to Law Enforcement transferred as AOJ 101 in March which also satisfies the Justice Administration requirement. It looks like TESC considers the two tests to be duplicates, they only accepted one test towards my program.
