For CLEP and transfer credit purposes, Winston-Salem State University is a school where students should verify how prior learning and exam credit will apply before enrolling. Credit-by-exam policies can vary by department, major, and degree requirements, so students should consult the university’s official transfer and testing guidance. As with many public universities, acceptance of CLEP or other transfer credit is not automatic for every course or program.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on WSSU'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. Winston-Salem State University transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.
