For students considering CLEP or transfer credit, the University of Utah has policies that allow some prior learning and external coursework to be evaluated for credit. Credit acceptance depends on the specific exam, course equivalency, score, and academic program requirements. Students should consult the university’s official transfer and credit evaluation resources before relying on any outside credit.

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