Credit banking at Excelsior college

[sora1505]

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and will appreciate any sort of help here.

I already have a bachelor's degree from 4 years-college with 135 credits. To be licensed for CPA in the State of NY, I need to have 150 credits in total. Did some research and sounds like the easiest/cheapest method for me would be to take CLEP/DSST exams and have Excelsior College issue a transcript with the CLEP/DSST test results.

This is where I'm slightly confused... How do I go about this process? Do I apply to Excelsior College as a non-degree student? Or is this (credit banking) a service that's offered from Excelsior College without having to apply? 

Also, do i need to transfer my 135 credits from my college? Or do I just request my 15 credit equivalent- DSST/CLEP scores to be sent to Excelsior? 

Any guidance in this process would help. Thanks in advance.

Before you do anything, double-check - I thought you couldn't use CLEP / DSST toward the 150 CPA requirement in New York?

• Correspondence, CLEP credit, CPA Review courses and online courses are acceptable when you receive credit for the courses at a regionally accredited college or university. These courses must appear on an official transcript.
