I agree with Machelle. As long as you get prior authorization from your advisor that the CLEP you are taking applies to your electives you are good to go. And you cannot CLEP out of any of the upper division classes.

As for the accounting, I had the same experience. I appealed as far as I could because I took two accounting classes at Point Park University, UoP would not accept them. I ended up taking the UoP accounting classes and they were the exact same material as my Point Park classes. That has been my only real sore spot with UoP, because I feel that those credits should have applied.
