CLEP Credits at University of Hawaii at Manoa

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is a public research university in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the flagship campus of the University of Hawaii system. Its location in the state capital places it at the center of Hawaii's public, cultural, and research life. The campus serves a diverse student body and is known for its Pacific and Asia-focused perspective.

UH Manoa offers a broad range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional study across many fields. It is especially recognized for research and academic strengths in areas connected to the Pacific region, including ocean and earth sciences, astronomy, Hawaiian and Pacific studies, and tropical agriculture. The university also houses professional schools and a wide array of liberal arts and STEM programs.

For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, UH Manoa is a public university that evaluates prior learning through its own academic policies rather than automatically accepting every external exam or course. Students should expect credit decisions to depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program. The university's transfer and credit-by-exam practices are designed to support students who arrive with college-level learning from other institutions or testing programs.

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