CLEP Credits at Aurora University

Aurora University is a private university in Aurora, Illinois, in the western suburbs of Chicago. The institution traces its roots to 1893 and serves undergraduate and graduate students on its main campus in Aurora. It is known for offering a broad range of liberal arts, professional, and graduate study options.

Aurora University offers programs across areas such as business, education, nursing, social work, and the liberal arts. The university also provides graduate and professional preparation in several fields, with a strong emphasis on career-oriented study and applied learning. Its academic profile is shaped by both traditional undergraduate education and programs designed for working adults and graduate students.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Aurora University is the kind of institution that typically evaluates prior learning through its registrar and academic departments rather than applying a single blanket rule to every student. Credit-by-exam and transfer-credit decisions are usually based on the specific exam, course equivalency, and the student’s program of study. Students should confirm current policies directly with the university before relying on any exam or transfer plan.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on AU's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. Aurora University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
