For CLEP and transfer credit, Buffalo State University follows standard university transfer and credit evaluation practices, and students should expect official review of prior coursework or exam credit by the institution. CLEP acceptance and the amount of credit awarded can depend on the specific exam, score, and the student’s academic program. Prospective students should confirm current policies directly with the university before relying on exam credit for degree planning.

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