Marshall University accepts transfer credit and has policies for evaluating prior college coursework, which is relevant for students bringing in CLEP or other exam-based credit. Credit awarded through CLEP is typically subject to institutional review and must fit Marshall’s published transfer and credit policies. Students should confirm how specific exams apply to their intended major or degree plan before relying on them.

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