CLEP Credits at University of Houston

The University of Houston is a public research university in Houston, Texas, and the flagship institution of the University of Houston System. It is located in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States and serves a large, diverse student body. The university is known for its urban setting and strong ties to the Houston region.

UH offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through multiple colleges and schools.

The university is classified as a doctoral university with very high research activity.

For credit by exam and transfer credit, students should consult University of Houston policies and the relevant academic college or department. UH evaluates transfer coursework and exam-based credit according to institutional rules, and acceptance can depend on the subject area, score, and how the credit fits a degree plan. CLEP credit may be available in some cases, but students should verify current equivalencies before relying on them.

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