Actually, I think most colleges accept CLEP exams so that should not be a big problem. Your son can take the CLEP exams and CLEP keeps the records, so you do not need to wait until you son enrolls. You can simply have CLEP send transcripts to the college and they will award the appropriate credit. I know that most "traditional colleges", will accept CLEP or AP exams upto a specified limit, such as 30 or 36 credits.
I live in Virginia, perhaps some of you are familiar with the gentemen who enrolled at the University of Virginia and graduated in one year!! He is now in medical school. He transfered in, I believe, 70 credits that were CLEP and AP exams.
The big advantage to you is the savings!! The advantage to your child is saved time! Traditional courses are fine but having to accumulate 120 credits by going to class for four years, 16 weeks each class...that is not for me. Your son may like it though, there are many kids that love the college experience and the freedom from mom and dad, and thus want to remain in college forever...LOL.
