Associates degree suggestions - confused about Pierpont/TESU, CLEP polices, etc

[dfrecore]

Every school's CLEP policy is different, and there is no "transferring" of a policy between schools. So, if your local CC takes CLEP exams, and you send them your CLEP scores, they will grant credit at their school for the exams they give credit for. If you also want to see what Pierpont does, you can send your CLEP scores to them as well, and they will give credit how they want. Neither school "talks" to each other or looks at what was given; they just give credit based on their own policies.

If you go to a 4yr school later, they will also give credit for CLEP exams based on their own policies. Unless you transfer from a state 2yr CC to the same state 4yr school and they have a "block transfer" articulation agreement saying that they will accept the AA/AS degree in whole no matter where you got the credit (a unicorn), then you don't just get to bring in the CLEP exams how your 2yr CC brought them in - the 4yr school looks at all of your credit on a case-by-case, course-by-course method.
