My schools system is complicated with accepting clep and DSST test. They just started to accept them a year in a half ago and there is a limit of 24 that you can use towards your degree and there is also a very limited selection of test subjects that they will accept. Below is the link to the brochure listing the only Clep and DSST Credits they will accept.

You all have given me a whole lot of encouragement therefore, I started to wonder. If I pass the Chemistry clep I wonder if it is possible to start a graduate program during the fall semester while awaiting my degree conferral at the end of the fall semester. I don't want to have to wait all the way to the spring semester. I will post this question in another thread. Again, thank you all so very much.
Yes, you can start grad school while you wait- be ready for your acceptance to be provisional or contingent upon graduation.
I can't believe your college promotes The College Network as a method of CLEP prep. Lame $$$$
Chemistry will be tough btw. Good luck!!
