It is part of the South Dakota public higher education system and serves students from the Black Hills region and beyond. The university's main campus is in Spearfish, with additional educational presence in the region through its outreach and online offerings.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Black Hills State University is a public institution that evaluates prior learning through established academic policies rather than automatically granting credit for every exam or course. Students seeking CLEP credit or transfer credit should consult the university's current credit policies and the relevant academic department or admissions office. Acceptance of credit can depend on the exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on BHSU'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. Black Hills State University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
