DSST

Georgia State University serves as a national test center for DSST exams. Because policies regarding DSST credits differ at various institutions, candidates should verify which tests are accepted by their respective schools.  All DSST exams are offered on the computer with the exception of Principles of Public Speaking which is in paper-pencil format. The tests are 2 hours in length and immediate scoring is available.

Georgia State University Policy on DSST Tests
Although Georgia State University serves as a DSST test center, Georgia State University does not accept DSST credits. If you are a Georgia State University student, please see the CLEP web page for Georgia State University approved college level examinations.
