Transfer credit policy

How Transfer Credits Work at San Francisco Art Institute

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, students should note that San Francisco Art Institute is no longer operating, so current admission or credit-by-exam policies are not available from the institution. When the school was active, transfer and exam credit decisions were handled through institutional review rather than by automatic acceptance. Any remaining credit evaluation questions would need to be directed to the appropriate records or successor contact, if available.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on SFAI'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. San Francisco Art Institute transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.

Transfer tip: Check your transfer credit evaluation and compare accepted credits with your San Francisco Art Institute degree requirements before planning additional coursework.
