Based on a $390/credit-hour public university average. Your actual saving depends on Regis College's tuition and how many exam credits it lets you apply toward your degree.

Plan prices cover TransferCredit.org prep only. The CLEP® exam fee (currently $95) is paid to College Board at registration, and test centres may add a sitting fee. Credit awards are always determined by Regis College — check the policy above before you test.

Beyond CLEP®

ACE & NCCRS coursework
may still be considered.

Regis College is not currently listed as an ACE-aligned or NCCRS member institution in our dataset. However, ACE- and NCCRS-recommended credits are accepted by a large number of U.S. colleges under prior-learning-assessment (PLA) policies, and acceptance is institution-specific. Before enrolling in an ACE or NCCRS course for credit transfer, confirm with the Regis College Registrar whether it will accept the specific course toward your degree.

ACE · American Council on Education
ACE Credit
ACE evaluates non-traditional learning — corporate training, workforce programs, credit-by-exam — and recommends equivalent college credit. CLEP® exams themselves are ACE-reviewed. Colleges that are ACE-aligned often accept ACE coursework in addition to CLEP®.
Source: acenet.edu
NCCRS
NCCRS Credit
The National College Credit Recommendation Service, administered by the University of the State of New York, reviews non-collegiate coursework and assigns college-equivalent credit. Member institutions accept NCCRS-recommended coursework directly; non-member institutions often consider NCCRS coursework under their prior-learning policy. Either way, acceptance means NCCRS-recommended self-paced courses may count toward degree requirements.

How Your Credit Path Works

Two ways to earn credit.
Both count at Regis College.

Most students pass their CLEP® on the first try. If you don't, your subscription unlocks the matching ACE/NCCRS self-paced course — with a retake-able final exam. Either route earns you transferable credit at Regis College.

About Regis College

Regis College
in brief.

Regis College is a private Catholic university in Weston, Massachusetts, in the Boston area. It was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston and is known for its liberal arts and professional education mission. The college serves undergraduate and graduate students on its suburban campus.

Regis offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, with particular strengths in health sciences, nursing, education, business, and the liberal arts. The university is also known for preparing students for professional practice through internships, clinical experiences, and other applied learning opportunities. Its academic profile reflects a mix of traditional liberal arts study and career-focused programs.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Regis College is the kind of institution where students should expect credit decisions to depend on official evaluation rather than automatic acceptance. CLEP and other prior-learning or transfer credits are typically reviewed against institutional policies, program requirements, and residency expectations. Students should confirm in advance whether a specific exam or course will apply to their intended major or degree plan.

Credit and transcript matters at Regis College are handled through the registrar and the academic records process. As with most colleges, final decisions about transfer, exam, and other external credits are based on official documentation and institutional review. Students should consult the registrar or academic advising office for the most current rules on credit posting, degree applicability, and transcript procedures.
