DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST)

Credit may be awarded for credit for each examination passed at the minimum score or requirement needed for that particular exam. Official transcripts of a student’s exams may be presented to appropriate departments to determine whether performance satisfies specific university, college, or department requirements. Departments may evaluate exams individually or establish equivalent grade policies. The department that offers the UNLV course will determine if the exams satisfy a university requirement. If the requirement is programmatic, the department and college offering the program will make the determination.

Credit may be granted for the achievement of a satisfactory score on the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST). Satisfactory achievement on the subject examinations is defined as a score of 400 or higher.
