Yeah, will definitely look into it. Thanks for the tips cooper.
I looked into their documents again and figured I'd post the excerpts I was referring to for anyone that was interested.
"Credit by Examination
Section 240.4015, Florida Statutes, requires the Articulation Coordinating Committee
(ACC) to establish passing scores and course and credit equivalents for Advanced
Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP) exams. Public community colleges and universities in Florida are
required to award credit for AP, IB, CLEP, DANTES, AICE, and Excelsior College
exams as designated. Credit awarded by exam may not duplicate other credit.
Institutions may not award credit for scores below those listed by the ACC. SFCC
students may satisfy up to 45 semester hours of course credit through one or more
of the mechanisms listed below; however, a maximum of 30 hours may be awarded
for the IB diploma. Score minimums, credit hours awarded, and course equivalencies
awarded are subject to change for any examination without prior notice."
"Excelsior College Examinations
Excelsior College Examinations (formerly known as the Regents College
Examinations or the Proficiency Examination Program), are developed by Excelsior
College using national committees of faculty consultants and national studies to
assess how well the tests measure the performance of students in actual college
courses. Excelsior College Examinations are approved by the American Council on
Education and Excelsior College itself is accredited by the Middle States Association
of College and Schools (MSACS). Transfer of credit is based on the Articulation
Coordinating Committeeâs recommended minimum scores and maximum amount
of credit guaranteed to transfer with no letter grades or grade points assigned.
Contact the Records Office for further information."
Funny that it mentions ACE right there.
