ALL DSST TESTING IS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Earn College Credit for What You Know
There are many educational alternatives to the classroom—you can learn from your job, your reading, your independent study, military training, and special interests you pursue. You may already have learned the subject matter covered by some college-level courses. The DSST® Program is a nationally recognized testing program that gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for learning acquired outside the traditional college classroom. DSST exams are created by Prometric, the trusted provider of market leading test development and delivery solutions. Taking a DSST exam can help you accelerate your path to degree completion while saving you the time it takes to sit through a course, as well as the additional dollars spent on tuition. DSST exams can make earning a degree more feasible.

Hilbert College is a certified DSST Test Center. 
We offer internet-based DSST exams.  Test takers pay a fee of $165* for each examination.  To schedule an exam, please click here.

*Please bring a credit card with you to the exam.  A non-refundable payment of $80 is due at the time of the exam by check or money order made payable to Hilbert College.  Payment of $85 is due at the time of the exam by credit card to Prometric and will be submitted online during the application process.

Preparing for a DSST Exam
Visit http://getcollegecredit.com/testprep for test prep materials including study guides and online practice exams.

Before taking an exam you are encouraged to speak with your school’s advising or admissions department about their credit awarding policy.  To contact the Hilbert College Office of Admissions please call 1-800-649-8003 or email admissions@hilbert.edu.

List of Exams
Please visit http://getcollegecredit.com/exam_fact_sheets for a list of available exams including downloadable fact sheets about each exam.  At this time Hilbert College administers all exams except for the Principles of Public Speaking exam.

Day of the Exam
Test takers must present current and valid picture identification such as a driver’s license, passport, or picture student identification card.  Expired identification is not acceptable.  Military test takers may present the Common Access Card as identification along with a secondary form of identification such as a driver’s license containing the holder’s signature.

A credit card is required on the day of the exam.  Exams will not be administered until the $80 exam fee is paid, in person, at the time of the exam.

Exams are scheduled on a precise schedule.  Failure to show up by the scheduled arrival time may forfeit your ability to sit for the exam on the scheduled day.  Exams may be rescheduled with 72 hours’ notice.  Exams rescheduled within 72 hours and no-shows will be charged a $20 rescheduling fee. 

Exam Scores
Students will be able to view their exam scores immediately upon completion of the exam.  Official score reports are mailed to the candidate’s designated institution within seven to ten business days.

To obtain the code for the institution where you want your scores sent, please visit http://getcollegecredit.com/institutions/search.  The code for Hilbert College is 9631.  You will need the institution code prior beginning your exam.  If no institution code is entered at the time of testing, a $30 transcript fee will be required.
