Finger Lakes Community College is a public community college in Canandaigua, New York, serving the Finger Lakes region. It is part of the State University of New York system and offers associate-degree and certificate study for students seeking transfer preparation, career training, and continuing education.

As a community college, its strengths typically include affordable access, smaller classes, and pathways designed for either direct entry into the workforce or transfer to four-year institutions.

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Finger Lakes Community College is a transfer-oriented institution that evaluates prior learning and outside coursework through its academic policies. Students considering CLEP should confirm in advance how exam scores may apply to their intended program, since credit acceptance can depend on the subject, score, and degree requirements.

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