Silly TESC/CLEP costs question

[nyrsimon]

First up sorry if this is a stupid question but I am new to this....

So I am considering enrolling at TESC. I have a bunch of credits from the UK (which I have had evaluated) and a few college credits.

But my question is around CLEP. I am a little confused by the TESC site - if I enroll and take some CLEP exams does TESC charge me additional fees (outside of the CLEP fees).

On their site I see course tuition per credit - do I get charged that AS well - or is that only if I take a course at TESC??

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks,
Simon

Hello Simon,

TESC does not charge additional fees for CLEPs. The exception might be if you took CLEPs at their testing site in New Jersey. Most testing centers charge a testing site fee around $10 to $25 in addition to the price for the CLEP (which is payed to College Board). The course tuition per credit is only charged for courses taken with TESC. There is however an annual enrollment fee which is payed for each year enrolled regardless of whether you take courses or not.

Hope this helps.

I used a service I beleive called Worldwide Education Services (WES)

Somewhere (unsure where now it's been a couple of years!) on the TESC website they list the services you can use to have foreign studies reviewed...

It wasn't too expensive either as I recall....

How much did CLEP exams cost?

[LaceyLady]

CLEP exams cost $72 plus a testing site fee (depends on the testing site but usually $15).
