For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Hunter College follows CUNY and college-level policies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Credit by examination and transfer credit decisions depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and the student’s academic program. Students should expect that not every exam or prior course will automatically apply to a degree requirement.

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