For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Upstate Medical University is not a broad undergraduate institution with a large catalog of general education options. Credit-by-exam and transfer decisions are therefore likely to be program-specific and dependent on the student’s academic plan. Students should expect that acceptance of CLEP or transfer credit may vary by college, department, and degree requirements.

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