CLEP Units Separate From 80 Units CC At TESC?
I’m going to do my official evaluation review at TESC in August. Probably Exc too. Not CC because I dont want a "General Studies with a concentration in.." degree, and I rather not take a science lab course if I dont have too. After I finish Intermediate algebra which is a five unit course. I’ll be probably be at 80 or just over 80 units as I’m at 68 now (well from 2003 when I originally graduated) and have at least nine units set up between now and August. Although I know two of my courses won’t convert over one being Elementary Algebra. But, anyhow, I don’t want to leave some classes in limbo (like hearing “sorry Sociology 01 can’t be applied because you went over the 80 unit limited.) My question is…if you CLEP out, and submit that, does that count toward the 80 unit count or is it separate?
I’m talking about CLEP’ING out of Sociology 101, and one of the CLEP business courses to start. Obviously not applying it to my CC as I don’t need to since I have an AA already and even if I didn’t I met the Social/Behavior requirement three times over. So if I submit my official transcript from my CC and then the CLEP transcript of whatever amount of units I CLEP out of, or however they do it, not having applied/sent over the CLEP units to my CC, will the CLEP be “separate” from the 80 units of the CC limit? I just ask because the CLEP units will be lower level just like the CC units and Im thinking the 80 is the max of Lower Units they allow to transfer in? I guess now I think of it, I could always take the test with their own testing system. But, still, just saying.
The website states 80 Units for CC, and 120 Units for University. Nothing mentioned about maximum for CLEP of if it applies to the CC or University credit limit.
Also are they pretty easy with transferring CLEP? Our CC is a pain with CLEP. You have to first get written approval to take a CLEP for a class by a counseler , then take the test, have results evaluated by the Dean of the major you’re applying it too, and then wait for a certified approval to apply it to degree sent in the mail, then you have to have records transfer it over to your transcript. Our CC charges you the regular $46.00 per unit credit for transferring it over so on top of the CLEP test fees, you have to pay the tuition of a Sociology 101 class for them to apply it towards your transcript since its considered a “class by exam.”
Thanks.
