Grade on Transcript

Credit for DSST tests will be recorded on your Boise State transcript with a grade of Pass (P). If your score is too low, no entry is made on your transcript.

Limitations on DSST Tests

DSST tests cannot be used to repeat a class previously graded. You may earn up to one-third (1/3) of your total credits required for graduation through credit for prior learning.
