For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Sonoma State University is a public university that evaluates prior college-level learning through established academic policies. Credit-by-exam acceptance can vary by subject, score, and degree program, so students should consult the university's official transfer and testing information before relying on exam credit. As with many CSU campuses, applicability of credit toward a major or general education requirement is determined by the university.

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