For transfer and credit-by-exam planning, students should review University of Detroit Mercy's current transfer credit and prior learning policies directly with the university. CLEP and other exam-based credit options are typically handled through institutional evaluation rather than automatic blanket acceptance. Because policies can vary by subject, score, and degree program, students should confirm how any exam credit would apply to their intended major.

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