Transfer credit policy

How Transfer Credits Work at Boricua College

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Boricua College is the kind of institution where students should confirm policies directly with the college before relying on exam credit. CLEP acceptance and the amount of credit awarded can vary by department, program, and degree requirements. Students should also verify whether any exam credit applies to their specific major or graduation plan.

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

Transfer tip: Check your transfer credit evaluation and compare accepted credits with your Boricua College degree requirements before planning additional coursework.
Beyond CLEP®

Boricua College is an
NCCRS member institution.

Boricua College is listed as an NCCRS member institution on nationalccrs.org. CLEP® isn't the only way to earn credit here — as an NCCRS member, Boricua College may also award credit for NCCRS-recommended coursework, and its Registrar often considers ACE-recommended coursework under the same prior-learning framework. Acceptance of any specific course is determined by the Registrar; confirm before enrolling.

ACE · American Council on Education
ACE Credit
ACE evaluates non-traditional learning — including corporate training, workforce programs, and credit-by-exam — and recommends equivalent college credit. CLEP® exams are also ACE-reviewed. Colleges may consider ACE-recommended coursework under their transfer credit or prior-learning policies.

NCCRS · Boricua College is a Member
NCCRS Credit
NCCRS reviews non-collegiate coursework and provides college-credit recommendations for eligible learning.
