The DSST Program (formerly known as the DANTES Subject Standardized Tests)
Active duty military personnel may apply for and take DSST exams without charge at the Education Office of their respective military installations if taking an exam for the first time. Military funding is no longer available for retesting.
Students who want their scores sent to UMUC Adelphi, UMUC-Asia or UMUC-Europe should list the score report number 9357 on their examination papers. UMUC Adelphi receives all DSST score reports; therefore, the same code should be used for all locations.
For information on DSST exams and test locations, visit www.getcollegecredit.com, or call 609-720-6740 or 877-471-9860. DSST Public Speaking is now available by appointment only. Please send a request for an appointment to, ntc@umuc.edu. For anyone with their own base access, contact the following stateside UMUC locations for days and times of testing:
- Joint Base Andrews, 301-981-3123, requires base access
- Joint Base Anacostia – Bolling, 202-563-3611, requires base access
