The exact treatment of CLEP scores and transfer coursework depends on the subject, score, and degree requirements in effect at the university.

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