For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, FGCU is a public university that evaluates prior learning through established academic policies. Students who have earned credit by examination or at another institution should expect the university to review those credits according to FGCU and Florida system rules. Acceptance depends on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree requirements.

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