Students who have taken CLEP exams that have multiple listings, and a specific score range required to obtain each equivalency, will receive the articulation based on where their score falls in that range on the chart. Students will not receive the articulations for the scores they surpassed.
For example, If a student receives a score of 65 on the “Spanish Language (Levels 1 and 2),” they will only receive the articulation for SPA151 (3 credits), and will not receive credit for SPA102 (5 credits) and CPC999TR (5 credits).

Students must submit official exam score reports for any exams they would like considered for credit awards at UB. Official reports should be sent to:
University at Buffalo, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260-1660
Phone: 716-645-6900 or 1-888-UB-ADMIT
Email: ub-admissions@buffalo.edu
For AP or CLEP credit requests give College Board the “SUNY Center Buffalo/School Code 2925.” The school code is very important, as it differentiates SUNY Center Buffalo (UB) from SUNY Buffalo State University (Buffalo State). Please see the Undergraduate Catalog and search for exam types that are considered for UB credit.
Check the exam websites for instructions on how to request an official score report. There is usually a fee charged for a score report.
Have the official exam score report sent to the following address. Designate UB (SUNY Center Buffalo/School Code 2925) if a school code is requested. For AP scores, an official transcript must be sent to UB by the College Board. It is not enough for the student’s high school or previous college to have a copy of their AP scores.
University at Buffalo, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260-1660
Phone: 716-645-6900 or 1-888-UB-ADMIT
Email: ub-admissions@buffalo.edu
It typically takes six to eight weeks from the time a student requests an exam score report until the time it appears on their Academic Advising Report, in the current semester for AP credit or after the student’s first UB semester for other exam credit types. If the student does not see the exam credit on their Academic Advising Report after six weeks, first confirm that the score report was sent to UB. If it was sent, the student should then call the Office of the Registrar to check to make sure that the transcript was received and is being processed.
If a student needs to decline or recover transferring credit from an alternative exam, they should complete the Credit Declination / Recovery Form.
