For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Hudson Valley Community College is a transfer-oriented institution that evaluates prior learning and outside coursework through its academic policies. Students interested in using CLEP or other exam-based credit should confirm in advance how the college will apply those credits to a specific program, since 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 HVCC'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. Hudson Valley Community College transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
