For transfer and credit-by-exam students, USF evaluates prior college coursework and standardized exam credit through established university policies. CLEP credit may be accepted when it matches USF requirements and score standards, but applicability depends on the specific exam and the student’s degree program. Students should confirm how any exam credit fits their intended major before relying on it.

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 South Florida transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
