SUNY Schools AP/CLEP max credits

<p>I was looking at the websites for SUNY schools and saw:</p>

<p>"No more than 32 non-liberal arts credits apply to a Harpur degree."
- binghamton</p>

<p>"accepts up to 30 credits by examination in partial fulfillment of the bachelor’s degree"
-stony brook</p>

<p>What do these two statements mean. If I receive over 30/32 Credits from AP credits including (biology, economics, psych, java, statistics, physics) and from CLEP Exams (like Information Systems, Biology) and from college levels courses (like College accounting, and College Law hosted by farmingdale). Can I receive more than 30/32 credits? are these only elective credits? if so do clep exam only count as elective credits?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>
