TECEPs do not need ACE or NCCRS approval. Don't ask a school if they accept TECEPs.

In my case, when I try to contact schools in FL about it. I'm mostly fed a response like the following: "If the course is listed on the transcript as internally coded or credit by internal examination we most likely will not accept the credits even if they're from a regionally accredited institution." I still have to contact the Deans / VP of Academic affairs at these schools ( I think that's the other alternative name for dean?) to get a more higher branch response on it.

But it doesn't make any sense to me that they wouldn't accept the courses even if they're internal examinations because they accept CLEP. To me if they accept CLEP then they should have zero issues whatsoever with accepting credit by exam from another RA school because the school holds even greater integrity in my opinion.

Someone talked about a similar issue when inquiring about the CSU-Global competency-based exams. I agree with you in that challenge exams should be accepted if a school accepts CLEP. TECEPs are more rigorous than CLEP and DSST. One can pass some of the CLEPs/DSSTs with getting less than half of the answers right. I've heard people describe TECEPs as being more like final exams for actual courses.
