For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, students should rely on UW Tacoma and University of Washington policies rather than general assumptions about the UW system.

Prospective students should confirm whether a specific CLEP exam or outside course is accepted before relying on it for graduation requirements.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on UW Tacoma's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.
