For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, San Francisco State University is a public four-year institution that evaluates prior college-level learning through its own admissions and transfer policies.

Acceptance of CLEP or other exam credit can vary by subject, score, and degree program.

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