DSST (Formerly Dantes) Program
Students enrolled at the College may earn credit for certain courses by achieving minimum scores on the DSST Tests. Minimum test scores will match and substitute for specific courses in the current catalog. DSST tests are electronically administered by the Testing Center. If credit is earned, the results are recorded by course, course number, and semester hours earned. A grade of K is awarded for successful DSST exams in which students earn the minimum score. See table below for a current listing of DSST exams accepted for credit. DSST credit may be transferable, but the student must check with the receiving institution to verify credit acceptance. Official DSST transcripts with the DSST score(s) will be required for any DSST credit to be awarded.
