For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, FIU is generally a transfer-friendly public university that evaluates prior college-level learning through established academic policies. Students seeking credit by examination or transfer credit should review FIU's current equivalency and residency rules before relying on outside coursework or exam scores. Acceptance of CLEP credit can vary by subject, score, and degree program.

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