For transfer and credit-by-exam students, Truman State University evaluates prior college coursework and may award credit according to university policies. CLEP and other exam-based credit are typically handled through the registrar or academic records process, with applicability depending on the subject area and score. Students should confirm how any external credit will apply to a specific degree program before enrolling.

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