It is approved by Excelsior but you need to get approval before signing up. Watch a 90 minute youtube video and then take the 34 question test which is done through ProctorU.
Should take an afternoon.
$100 plus $25 for ProctorU
Just thought this may help some other people

Has it arrived on your transcript yet? Let us know if you have and difficulty having it transcribed, up until recently it was an "in house" requirement since you learned how to navigate Excelsior's library system with the course a valuable learning experience for research purposes. Once you send this in to be transcribed you need to be on top of the four week time frame for it to appear on your transcript. Did you get it approved in writing from Excelsior? Sounds like a lot easier than the course I took. 
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

Just a FYI.
They have preferred you do it inhouse, but it's never been REQUIRED. EI2HCB Wrote:Ben

Another issue of advisors not knowing the rules, mine insisted that I take it at Excelsior. I combined it with another course and got it met while getting three social science credits.

Ben,
Can you tell me how you contacted Coopersmith initially?
I've emailed Coopersmith twice regarding their accredited psychology courses, and they haven't replied.
On the NCCRS website they've had a bunch of psychology courses accredited this month, along with showing lots of other accredited courses.
I'm after details and start dates

Coopersmith Career Consulting: College Credit Recommendations: NCCRS I know this is a little old... but are you still interested in pursuing this option? I've been in contact with them and am hoping to begin the courses in a few months time.

Yes!
Although I'm in a hurry and planning E-pack psychology courses into this year, it would be great to find doable cheap psychology credit too
Being international and not near a CLEP center is hard sometimes lol .... ProctorU has been such a degree saver!
How did you get hold of them? I don't have time to call them and they never replied to my emails
