Earning TECEP® Credit

TECEP® exam results are entered in a student's file as CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit) and do not affect the grade point average (GPA). Also, only CR results appear on a Thomas Edison State College transcript. Therefore, an official transcript will not show a numeric score, a letter grade, or an NC result, only exams that have been completed successfully and the number of credits that have been earned.

The minimum score required to earn credit on a TECEP® exam is equivalent to a letter grade of C.

Students may take a TECEP® exam a second time if they do not pass on their first attempt, subject to the following policies:

• They must wait three months before retesting.
• They may retest one additional time.
• They must re-register and pay another test fee.

After a TECEP® exam has been graded and the results entered in a student's file, the student will receive a grade report that lists either CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit). Students can also view their results online, by logging into their academic evaluation in Online Student Services.

It is not possible to review a TECEP® exam after administration. Students who have concerns should email otdr@tesc.edu and include their name, College ID, course code, and test date. Any concerns regarding a specific test administration must be made within 90 days of the receipt of the grade report.

In order to maintain compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the College cannot release test results via telephone, e-mail, or fax.
