四色AV policy prohibits a student from earning credit through DSST during the semester in which they are scheduled to graduate.听 Therefore, all DSST exams MUST be completed and credit posted prior to a student's final semester.

Examinations may be taken at any offering DSST examinations; however, only the examinations listed above will be accepted for credit, provided official score reports are sent to 四色AV.听 The student should contact the test center directly for registration procedures. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to confirm that an exam is accepted for their major at 四色AV prior to taking the exam.

Score Reports and Passing Score Information at 四色AV
Unofficial score reports can be viewed after the test administration. Each institution awarding credit based on DSST sets its own credit-granting policy.

The passing score varies for all DSST examinations. 听Course credit is awarded for DSST examinations and appears on transcripts.听 Courses passed by examination count toward graduation.听 However, no letter grade will be awarded and the grade will not be calculated in your total grade point average.听 If a passing score is earned, the University Registrar will enter the credit earned on the transcript as equivalent to the appropriate 四色AV course.听 Credit will be awarded to prospective 四色AV students only after they have enrolled at 四色AV.听

If you pass a DSST subject examination for a course you are taking at 四色AV, you may (1) stay in the course and get the grade earned in class or (2) drop the course and receive credit by examination.听 If you drop the course to receive credit by examination, it must be dropped with a 鈥淲鈥 by the official 四色AV catalog final day for dropping a subject for that semester or summer session.听 If the subject examination passed covers two courses, including a course you are taking, you may finish the course to earn a letter grade and quality points, and still receive credit by examination for the course you have not taken.听

NOTE: Credit earned by exam does not count toward hours earned for the Louisiana TOPS Program.
