credit laundering in Texas

[clep3705]

Both of my sons have extensive credit by examination (CBE) awarded at a Texas community college that has a very liberal CBE policy. Each has transferred to a different community college or junior college. Both were able to transfer all of their CBE hours even though the new schools don't give credit for all of the exams the first school gave credit for. One son had CBE from a university transfer to a junior college. All of this CBE transfer credits were accomplished without AP, CLEP, or DSST transcripts being sent to the new schools.

It's very simple. In Texas, if you have a course number and name on your transcript from a public college or university, it will transfer to another public college or university. I've seen this at multiple schools several times now.

There are two problems. Most administrative employees don't know this. CBE appears on electronic transcripts in a different location that many people don't know how to access. Once you can get past all of this, it works. Start the process very early because it can take time to get everything resolved.
