CLEP Exams at Northern Arizona University

Northern Arizona University is a public university in Flagstaff, Arizona, with additional locations and online offerings that serve students across Arizona and beyond. Its main campus is in northern Arizona near the San Francisco Peaks, and the university is known for combining a mountain setting with a large public-university profile.

NAU offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across many fields, including business, education, engineering, health, the sciences, and the humanities. The university is also recognized for research and public-service activity, with strengths that include environmental and ecological study, forestry, and work connected to the region and the American Southwest.

For transfer and credit-by-exam students, NAU is a public university that evaluates prior college work and may award credit for approved transfer coursework and standardized exams. Students considering CLEP should verify current NAU policies before testing, since credit decisions can depend on the exam, score, and the degree program.

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