They are also accepted for college credit at over 900 other colleges and universities. Also known formerly as the ACT Proficiency Examinations Program (ACT PEP), Excelsior College now administers these tests worldwide.
Paper-and-pencil forms of the ECE exams are available to military and civilian (space available) personnel through the Testing Office.
