For students considering CLEP or transfer credit, Texas State is a public university that evaluates prior learning through established academic policies. Credit-by-exam and transfer credit decisions are typically handled through university academic offices and are subject to course equivalency and degree applicability. Students should confirm how any CLEP score or transfer course applies to their specific major before relying on it for graduation planning.

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