DSST (DANTES)

DSST is an effective method to provide your college with evidence of prior learning. In fact, the 38 exams available at a competitive fee compliment other credit by exam programs such as CLEP.

Consult with the university of your choice to determine DSST policies.

WCU's Test Center Appointment fee is $40 and is non-refundable. Special appointments may be arranged on a limited basis but may incur an additional charge. The Test Center appointment fee is in addition to the fee payable to DSST which is $100 (subject to change). 

You must pay for the DSST fee on the date of the test with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express Card. No other form of payment is acceptable. DSST does not accept Discover Card.

HOW TO REGISTER:
Register for a regularly scheduled DSST exam
If you have received approval for a custom date and time, register.

Your DSST examination scores are reported only to you, unless you request that they be sent elsewhere. If you want your scores sent to your college, you must provide the correct DSST code number of the school on your answer sheet at the time you take the test.

For full information about the testing, you should download a student bulletin.

If you have a learning or physical disability that would prevent you from taking a CLEP exam under standard conditions, you may request special accommodations and arrangements to take it on either a regularly scheduled test date or at a specially scheduled administration. For details, consult the candidate bulletin.
