What's the pass guarantee, exactly?
If you prep for a CLEP® or DSST exam with us and don't pass on your first attempt, we'll send you a coupon code that unlocks the matching ACE/NCCRS self-paced course at $0. That course has a final exam too — but you can retake it as many times as you need. Earn your credit through the ACE/NCCRS transcript either way. You either pass the original exam, or you earn the credit through the backup pathway — on us.
What is TransferCredit.org?
A platform for earning real, transferable college credit through three pathways: CLEP® exam prep, ACE & NCCRS-recommended self-paced courses, and DSST exam prep. Every pathway produces credit accepted at thousands of U.S. colleges and universities.
How are CLEP®, ACE/NCCRS, and DSST different?
CLEP® — College Board's credit-by-exam program. Pass the exam on test day, credit transfers. 2,900+ schools. ACE/NCCRS — Self-paced online course with a final exam you can retake as many times as you need. Official ACE/NCCRS transcript included; optional regionally-accredited transcript via Excelsior University at extra cost. 2,100+ schools. DSST — Similar to CLEP®, popular with military students. 1,900+ schools.
How much can I actually save?
Universities charge $300–$600 per credit hour. Our prep subscription starts at $29/mo and covers every subject we offer — CLEP® prep, DSST prep, and ACE/NCCRS courses are all included in one plan. Earn 30 credits via our pathways instead of paying full tuition and you'd save $9,000–$18,000 depending on your school. Use our calculator above to see your exact number.
What's the Excelsior regionally-accredited transcript?
ACE and NCCRS credits are nationally recognized, and most colleges accept them directly. But if your school specifically requires a regionally-accredited transcript, you can route your ACE/NCCRS credits through Excelsior University for a single consolidated regionally-accredited transcript. This is an optional add-on at extra cost — not needed for most transfers, but available when your institution asks for it.
How do I use the WELCOME25 coupon?
New users get 25% off their first month with code
WELCOME25 at checkout. Valid on all CLEP® and ACE/NCCRS plans. One use per user.How do I know which path my college accepts?
Use our college search. Every college page shows which credit types they accept, the minimum scores, and credit caps. Final acceptance is always the receiving institution's call.
Can I combine credits from all three paths?
Yes — most students who maximize savings do exactly this. Credits from all three sources can be consolidated on an Excelsior University OneTranscript, which most colleges accept as a single official academic document.
I'm military. Does this work for me?
Yes — military is one of our strongest audiences. CLEP® and DSST exams are funded through DANTES. ACE/NCCRS credits stack with military training credits on the Excelsior OneTranscript. Self-paced, no deadlines — designed around deployment schedules.
