For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, the College of Charleston evaluates prior college coursework and standardized exam credit through its established transfer-credit policies. CLEP credit may be accepted when it meets institutional requirements and aligns with the college’s published policies. Students should confirm applicability with the university because credit decisions can depend on the exam, score, and degree program.

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