DSST Tests

The Defense Activity for Not-Traditional Educational Support (DANTES or DSST) is a credit-by-examination program, similar to CLEP, specifically for service members or veterans. DSST tests are given in the Testing Center and are computerized exams.

On the day of the exam, arrive at the Testing Center at least ten minutes before your scheduled exam. The test fee of $100 must be paid by money order or certified check made payable to Thomson Prometric. Cash will not be accepted. You must also pay a non-refundable administration fee at the Redlands Business Office prior to the exam. Administration fees are $20 for exams without an essay and $35 for exams with an essay. Please bring or mail the registration form to the Testing Center at least three weeks prior to test date, with your receipt from the Business Office. A photo I.D. must be presented to be admitted to the exam. Acceptable forms of ID include a driver's license, military ID or current passport.

For additional information, you may contact the Testing Center at 405.422.6270 or visit the DSST website.
