Transfer Credit Previous College Credit 
National Testing Exams
Exams recognized by The College Board, such as AP, CLEP, and DSST, may be evaluated for transfer credit toward Strayer University programs. Our campuses serve as testing sites for the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the DSST exams. CLEP and DSST test scores are evaluated for transfer credit toward diplomas, undergraduate certificates, and undergraduate degree programs. However, credits earned through these exams do not fulfill residency requirements. For more information about either test, please contact your admissions officer.
If you wish to take a CLEP or DSST exam, contact the Academics Office of your home campus for details on applying and scheduling.

How do I request credit for National Testing Exams?
If you would like to request credit for an exam that you have already taken at the time of your enrollment at Strayer University, let your admissions officer know during the application process and he/she will request the proper score reports for you. He/she will send your scores to the Transcript Evaluation Center for review. You will receive a copy of your evaluation in the mail. You may also obtain a copy at the campus at anytime through the Admissions or Academic Offices.
