CLEP Credits at Temple University

Temple University is a public research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with its main campus in North Philadelphia. It is one of the largest universities in the Philadelphia region and serves a diverse student body across undergraduate, graduate, and professional study. The university also operates additional campuses and instructional sites beyond its main Philadelphia location.

Temple offers a broad range of academic programs through its colleges and schools, including strong offerings in business, health professions, communications, education, engineering, law, and the arts. As a research university, it is known for combining classroom study with applied learning, clinical experiences, and community engagement. Students can pursue many majors and graduate pathways across a large, comprehensive academic portfolio.

Temple accepts transfer credit and has policies for evaluating prior college coursework, including credit earned through examination where applicable. CLEP credit may be considered under Temple's transfer and credit evaluation rules, but acceptance depends on the specific exam, score, and how the credit fits the student's program. Students should review Temple's current transfer-credit and testing-credit policies before relying on exam results for degree planning.

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