Credit-by-Exam from CSU Global!!!!!

[sanantone]

These are really interesting sanantone, thanks. But this passage intrigues me:
"CBEs are considered nonresident credits, and they will apply toward an undergraduate degree at CSU-Global. If you transfer to another institution, that receiving institution may or may not accept your CBE credits, at their discretion."
I read that the same as many college's "challenge exams": exams that one can take in lieu of taking the class. Around me (NJ/PA) the community colleges all have a section regarding challenge exams and they all stress that you probably shouldn't expect another institution to accept the challenge-exam-passed courses. I take it these CSU-Global CBEs are more like the challenge exams, as opposed to TECEPs or ECE/UExcels? Do we know of anyone with a track record that has gotten these CSU exams accepted at other schools? Because if so these are pretty badassed: regionally accredited and almost all upper level, including ones like you said that I've never seen test-out options for before.

Technically, TECEPs are challenge exams. Ohio University exams are also challenge exams, and I believe the Big 3 have accepted them in the past. I'm supposed to be receiving a call tomorrow on how non-enrolled students can take these exams. Once I get that information, I will contact TESC to ask about acceptance.

Strayer's credit by exam are only $20 paid directly to ProctorU. You take them at home via webcam. The list can be found here.

Available Challenge Exams | Strayer University

There are hundreds of courses including many accounting and IT courses which can be hard to find.

The problem with the Strayer challenge exams is that you have to be an enrolled student. I know you argued that the tests you took were prerequisites for other Strayer courses, but it seems kind of risky to take those tests and to have them tell you that you need to be an official student in order to have them transcribed.
