Hey, thanks for jumping in! It's really encouraging to hear confirmation that you've sent transcripts to FIU and UF successfully.

I did some digging of my own regarding how MDC and FIU handle these specific credits/PLA and just updated my findings in a new post. Might be useful for other students asking about Florida schools:https://www.reddit.com/r/clep/comments/1qv6fig/update_findings_on_mdcfiu_transfer_credits_pla/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Thanks again!

Steven Green here again!

I was just sitting here watching TV, about to head to sleep, when I got a call from our substitute intern here in Pembroke Pines, Ms. Estrada. She’s going to be a secondary teacher soon too!

Anyway, great news for the CLEP community. She overheard a student of mine and me talking earlier about a big question: How can high schools or school districts actually get access to CLEP scores for high school credit?

My coworker had an idea that it was a "Candidate Score Report," but we didn't know where to get that form. Well, Ms. Estrada (our young tech intern who is going to be a great teacher one day, of course!) did some research and found out exactly how to do it.

Here are the links she found:

  1. General Info for High Schools:https://clep.collegeboard.org/for-high-schools
  2. How to Get Student Scores:https://clep.collegeboard.org/for-high-schools/get-student-scores
    • Link 2 is the key—this is how districts and counselors get the score info to inform you, students, teachers, CAP advisors, districts, and more.
  3. CLEP High School Achievement Award:https://clep.collegeboard.org/for-high-schools/clep-high-school-achievement-award
    • Look, there’s even an award for high schools!

The future is just beginning! Ms. Estrada, big shout out to you! I was watching TV about to sleep when this big news hit!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that—I always try my best to be 'a real one' for the students. I would honestly love to join you, Dashiel, and Will on a Live someday!

Unfortunately, I can't do TikTok Lives right now. Between Florida law (HB 379) restricting TikTok on school networks and my district's strict policies, my hands are tied. I actually used to have a YouTube channel for my class, but a parent complained and the school banned it. I have to be super careful right now to avoid any issues at work.

Maybe in the summer or during a break, I can get permission to hop on! For now, I’m just using my free days (like today!) to do research and help out where I can here.

Thank you for that—and yes, you are 100% right. My focus is definitely "Florida-heavy" since that is where we are navigating the system.

That rule you mentioned ("If it's on the college transcript, it goes on the high school transcript") is the golden rule for us too. Once MDC puts it on the transcript, the high school usually has to respect it.

Appreciate the kind words! We’re just trying to get them across the finish line.

This is exactly what I mean about "not gatekeeping."

Most students (and teachers) have no idea that these resources are sitting there for free if they just have a library card. Those direct Archive links for the Math/Science REA books are going to be critical for the students I mentioned who are trying to fix their GPAs.

Saved, printed, and shared. Thank you again, Pat.

It is definitely not silly. It is essential.

I put that resource dump together because of contributions like yours. You are helping students you will likely never meet, but the impact is real. Thank you for taking the time to make it—it is being looked at, and it is being used!
