We are a national testing center for both DSST and CLEP exams. This means that we will proctor these exams for you at the University of Indianapolis whether or not you are a UIndy student. Hence, all available exams are listed below, whether or not they are accepted at UIndy, because you may take these exams here for credit at another college or university. Although the Registrar will award credit for some Excelsior exams, WE DO NOT PROCTOR Excelsior College exams at UIndy; see the Excelsior Web site. Also, we will NOT proctor any exam for a Western Governors University (Utah) student.
High school students may take Advanced Placement courses while in high school. At the end of these courses, they register for the equivalent AP exam. If they achieve a score of 3 or higher on an AP exam, UIndy will award college credit based upon the results of these AP exams. Hence, the AP exams are listed below because UIndy accepts the results of these exams; however, these exams are not available to be taken by students already enrolled at UIndy.
The University of Indianapolis observes the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations for awarding credit. The minimum ACE score is indicated below (see "Passing Score"). If you meet or exceed the passing score, you will be awarded credit in accordance with the Registrar's current guidelines for awarding testing credit at UIndy (which may NOT match this Web page).
