DANTES
DANTES (Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support) are standardized tests available to all military personnel. The KCKCC Veteran
Affairs Representative approves the subjects for academic credit.
- Students must score at the 50th percentile or above on the DANTES Subject
Standardized Tests (DSSTs) to be eligible for academic credit.
- DANTES scores must be submitted during a student's first semester of enrollment
at KCKCC. Test scores over two years old are evaluated on an individual basis.
- Academic credit is posted on student transcripts by the College's course
number with a notation that DANTES credit was earned. A grade of CR indicates
academic credit was awarded for the course.
- Students can accumulate a total of 15 hours of credit through the DANTES
program. No DANTES exam earns more than five (5) academic hours of credit.
- Students awarded credit hours through the DANTES program are not charged
for tuition and fees at KCKCC. They are only required to pay those costs
charged by the Educational Testing Service to take the exam(s).
- No academic credit is granted to students who take DANTES exams in Composition
I and Composition II.
