CLEP (3-6 Lower Level Credits)
DANTES/DSST (3 Lower OR Upper Level Credits)
Excelsior Exams (3 Lower OR Upper Level Credits)
Each test takes about 2 hours. They are FREE to Active Duty. CLEP/DSST are $100~ for Veterans. Most colleges will take up to 30 (1 years worth), however some will take A LOT more (I had 3 class room credits for my BS total).

SSG Eddye Royal - Generally they have to be done in person. "Many" Colleges offer to proctor the exams, and "usually" Base Education will be set up to do it on specific days.
As an example, MCB Quantico (Base Education through Northern VA Community College) does them on Tues & Thursdays Mornings. However I can also go to Strayer and do them there. The fee for vets is $75/80 + $20 (to the school). I'd call the local Base Ed and see if Retirees get them free or not though. I just don't know on that.

Online Courses at AMU are a possibility. There are class start dates at the beginning of every month and most courses are 8 weeks long. You might also see if some online Army classes translate to college credit.

Step 1. Enroll in college with a degree plan in mind.
Step 2. Study hard and pass your classes.
Step 3. There is no step 3. Hard work is the answer.

I hope they understand that with most things in life, the easy way is not always the best way. It normally cost you more in the long run either in time, money or both & it pays to do it right the first time so its done and you can hold your head high and move on !to bigger and better things such as yourself CSM W Bennett.
