CLEP Credits at Xavier University

Xavier University is a private Jesuit university in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is located in the city’s Evanston neighborhood and is one of the oldest Jesuit universities in the United States. The university emphasizes a Catholic, Jesuit educational tradition and a campus experience centered on undergraduate learning.

Xavier offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs through its colleges and schools, with strengths in business, health sciences, nursing, education, and the liberal arts. The university is also known for professional preparation and service-oriented learning that reflects its Jesuit mission. Students can pursue both traditional majors and graduate study in several fields.

For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, Xavier evaluates prior college coursework and standardized exam credit through its academic policies. CLEP credit may be accepted in some cases, but applicability depends on the exam, score, and the student’s program of study. Students should confirm current policies with Xavier before relying on exam credit for degree requirements.

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