For transfer and credit-by-exam planning, Chestnut Hill College students should consult the college’s current transfer credit and prior learning policies. CLEP acceptance and the amount of credit awarded can vary by exam, score, and academic program, so students should verify applicability before testing. The college’s policies are designed to be reviewed in advance with an academic advisor or admissions staff.

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