Credit-By-Exam Tables

Ready, Set, Accelerate!

Credit-by-exam allows students to accelerate their studies by earning college credit through examination. While most exams are completed in high school, some are available in college, including CLEP and DSST, which are great options for non-traditional learners who may need to complete FIU’s University Core Curriculum (UCC).

Passing scores satisfy FIU’s (UCC) requirements, prerequisites for some majors, electives, and foreign language. Other accelerated exams, such as French Baccalaureate, German Abitur, and Swiss Matura are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

A Few Simple Rules

  • Official scores must be sent directly to FIU from the examining organization (College Board, Cambridge, International Baccalaureate, etc.).
  • A maximum of 45 credits are awarded for all exams combined; additional credits may be awarded upon request.
  • There are no grades associated with these exams, and therefore, no impact on GPA.
  • Exams and equivalencies are included in the Panther Degree Audit and transcript.
  • UCC1/UCC2 designations that satisfy FIU’s University Core Curriculum (UCC) requirements may not satisfy major requirements.
  • Duplicate credit is not awarded (earning ENC 1101 in AP and IB, awards 3 credits, not 6).
    • ELE UCC1 (elective) is an exception to this rule and may be awarded more than once.
