Testing

Northwest Florida State College will award college credits for qualifying DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSSTs) examination scores per FAC 6A-10.024 guidelines and the Articulation Coordinating Committee Credit-by-Exam Equivalents adopted August 15, 2006, as follows:

  1. Since a grade of “P” for passing will be assigned, no grade points will be assigned for credits awarded through the DSST Program.
  2. Determination of the specific college courses or subject areas for which credits are awarded will be determined by the College Registrar, guided by the equivalency matrix below, upon receipt of official DSST examination results.
  3. If the course is not offered by Northwest Florida State College, the State assigned equivalency will appear on the transcript (External Credit) along with the Northwest Florida State College equivalency (Internal Credit).
