CLEP credit acceptance is not universal across all courses or programs, so students should confirm applicability with the university before relying on exam results. Policies can vary by school, major, and degree level.
Credit evaluation at UNE is handled through the registrar and the relevant academic unit, which review official transcripts, exam scores, and other documentation. Students typically need to follow university procedures for submitting records and for determining how credits apply to a specific degree plan. As with most universities, the final decision on transfer or exam credit rests with the institution and the program of study.
