Question about UL and LL courses - gmagerr - 05-09-2012
Hi all,
I need some clarification on CLEP and DSST test scores. I took Principles of Marketing a week or so ago, and scored a 61. When I transfer the credits to TESC my plan is to take a class there to get a GPA because I want to go for an MBA next. First of all, am I correct in assuming all I need to do is take one class to get a GPA? and second, will a score of 61 on the Marketing CLEP affect that GPA? How does all of that work?
Thanks

TESC accepts all "passing" CLEP and DSST scores as CR (Credit), which other schools would write as a P (Pass). It does not affect your GPA, nor does it create one. It will be transcribed as MAR-301 (Marketing and Management Exams are both UL Credit, see CLEP - College-Level Exam Program) and any score of 50 or above will be a CR on your transcript.
My understanding (and plan for myself) is that taking only one course will provide a GPA at TESC. Maybe someone else can answer that.

You only need one course from TESC to get a GPA. You won't have any transfer credits that will carry a grade into TESC (I think places like EC are different, but with TESC the only way to get a GPA is to take at least one of their classes).
