For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, Surry Community College is the kind of institution that commonly evaluates prior learning and exam-based credit within established academic policies. Students interested in using CLEP scores should confirm in advance how the college applies exam credit to a specific program or degree plan. Transferability can depend on the course, score, and how the credit fits the student’s curriculum.

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