For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, West Virginia Northern Community College is a public two-year institution that may evaluate prior learning and outside coursework according to its own academic policies.

Transferability can depend on the receiving institution and the student's intended major.

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