For CLEP and transfer credit, Saint Leo University has policies that allow students to bring in prior learning and exam-based credit when it fits university requirements. CLEP credit acceptance is subject to Saint Leo’s published policies, course equivalencies, and minimum score standards. Students should confirm how a specific exam applies to their intended program before relying on it for degree planning.

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