Exams available for Excelsior BS-Business

[Kiwi Lover]

I am looking over the exams required for a business degree from Excelsior and maybe you know the answer; I have taken the six credit accounting clep back in October (which Regis accepted) would Excelsior accept them as in a credit transfer or will I have to take a course?

Second question is, I am waiting for Excelsior's evaluation until I enroll but I want to continue to take cleps/dantes, so do I have to list a schools code when taking the exams, or can I get those sent at a later date, (because I am basing the decision to enroll on what excelsior's evaluation is)?

Hi Mike,

I don't mind you asking me questions - we're all here to help.

Regarding the 6-credit CLEP Accounting exam that you took in October, I am almost positive that Excelsior would accept that as meeting the Financial & Managerial Accounting requirements, since it is currently listed on the approved exams list for Excelsior. However, your advisor would have to confirm for sure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Excelsior will be changing the requirements for the BS-Business degree effective Sept. 1st. IF the requirement for these two accounting classes is one of the changes they make, then you might want to consider enrolling before then. Just a "heads up" as you make your plans.

Regarding sending your CLEP & DSST scores to Excelsior, on the exams you take from now on, you can have the scores sent directly to Excelsior (school code for CLEP is 2899 and for DSST is 9370). For the exams you have already taken, however, you will want to request one transcript from each of them to send to Excelsior, which will give them the latest information for doing your unofficial evaluation.

I hope that helps.
