For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Saint Joseph's University is the kind of institution where credit policies should be checked carefully before testing or transferring coursework. Schools like this often evaluate credit based on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and the student's academic program. Students should confirm in advance whether a CLEP exam or outside course will apply to their degree requirements.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on SJU's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.
