For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, students should rely on University of San Francisco policies rather than general assumptions about credit acceptance. Credit-by-exam and transfer credit decisions are typically evaluated by the university on a case-by-case basis and may depend on the specific exam, score, course equivalency, and degree program. Prospective students should confirm whether any CLEP exam or prior coursework is accepted before relying on it for degree progress.

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