Replacing credit; Excelsior College

[cederic824]

Had a question for any Excelsior students that have experience with this.

I have 6 credits from when I went to college right after high school. They are both Humanity credits; a total of 6.

Comm 101 intro to speech I got a D.

And Arts 100 I got a C.

I want to take the 6 credit Humanity clep. Can I replace those two grades above with the humanity clep? I want to improve my GPA and can't let that "D" ride on my transcript. Any info would be appreciated.

Excelsior only awards pass/fail credit for the clep general exams, so it will not effect your GPA. So go ahead and challenge the test. I would definately delete the "D" though.
When you get all your credits in and you are getting ready to graduate, figure your GPA with and without the ARTS "C". If it is beneficial keep it, if it is decreases your GPA chunk it...
As always, confirm with an advisor.
