    Default CLEP reporting failing grades?

    Does anyone know if CLEP reports failing grades to ECE? I got a note that ECE received transcripts for me and I don't have any pending. The only thing recent is the Algecra CLEP I failed. Has anyone heard of this before?

    I haven't experienced this, so I'm not certain, but it makes sense to me. As far as I can remember, CLEP reports your score to the college if you click "report score" no matter what the score is. Even if it's 20. EC, however, only transcripts CLEP's that are equivalent to a C or better (50), so it's basically irrelevant. As far as I know, anyway.

    Yes, they send all scores to EC regardless of pass/fail as some schools use a different scale either above or below 50 to determine their own pass/fail.

    Yeah, the send it, but EC will not do anything with it. It WON'T go on your transcript.

    I failed a DSST and it's not on mine. My advisor said they don't use it at all, it doesn't "count against" you in any way shape or form.

    All it really means is you have to take another one to get those hours (or re-take it in 6 months).
