<p>I'm a rising high school senior and this year I'm taking all my classes (eight of them) through dual enrollment at a state university because I finished all my graduation requirements and my school only has four AP classes, which I already took.
I get both high school and college credit for them and they appear on my high school transcript because I'm not allowed to do it any other way. But they don't count toward my high school graduation requirements because I've already completed all of them. I get a college transcript too. </p>
<p>Am I going to have trouble getting credit for these because they appear on my high school transcript? In general, do selective/private colleges not accept these?</p>
<p>In Ohio, dual enrollment is free and I expect to stay in college for four years after I graduate anyway, so I don't care much if they won't transfer. But I don't really want to take the same class over again for no good reason.</p>
<p>It depends on the school, usually DE is for in state schools. However, depending on the course and if you’re taking it at an actual University, the credits may transfer for out of state. At a CC? Highly unlikely.</p>
<p>When you’re applying for colleges, you’ll just have to send two transcript, your high school and the DE one. I wouldn’t worry much either. College love when people go over just their grade requirements. </p>
<p>Check the universities you are applying to for their policies on transfer credit. You would send them the college transcript for this purpose.</p>
<p>In some cases, for both AP scores and college courses taken while in high school, credit may be decoupled from placement into higher level courses. Additionally, there may also be the distinction between *credit units<a href=“for%20the%20number%20of%20credits%20to%20graduate”>/i</a> and *subject credit<a href=“counting%20as%20completion%20of%20a%20specific%20course%20for%20your%20major%20or%20breadth%20requirements”>/i</a>.</p>
<p>I attended high school in the state of Washington and was dual enrolled in a community college for my junior and senior year. I received both high school and college credit for these classes, much like halcyonheather described. Both transcripts were submitted during the application process. By the time I graduated from high school, I had over 100 college credits (GE courses, Spanish, organic chemistry, calculus-based physics, and all of their higher math offerings through differential equations).</p>
<p>I matriculated at Purdue University/Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering in Indiana. They accepted all but 90+ credits plus my AP credits from my freshman and sophomore years. I gained Purdue credit for both breadth and major requirements. Since Purdue/AAE requires two courses of Differential Equations, I chose to repeat the dual enrolled portion (an easy A; great for the GPA) so that I didnt have any gaps in the material. Since I was an engineering major, I still needed/wanted to attend all four years due to sequential class scheduling and the desire to have a lighter course load to keep a high GPA. The benefit of all of these units was that, as a freshman, I had upperclassman standing, and thus, priority registration to the lowerclassman classes and housing. It also enabled me to easily minor in Management.</p>
<p>All of this took careful planning. I cant stress that enough! During my junior year, I carefully went over the class transfer requirements for Purdue. When I visited campus before I applied, I had the Engineering advisor look at my transcripts (I specifically made appointments for this reason during my visits to different schools). When there seemed to be a question of whether a class would transfer or not, I made contact with the transfer office and worked with them to determine the status. Often, I would have to also work with the dean of the department dealing with the particular class. For instance, I needed to send in my syllabi, textbook information and lecture/lab finals to have a year’s worth of physics transfer. It did take time and effort, but was well worth it in the end. Those transfer office ladies knew me on a first name basis when I stopped in during June orientation to both thank them profusely and check on the details of the last semesters worth of classes that I had just completed.</p>
<p>My best advice to anyone entering as a dual enrolled student is to research the transfer requirements of the school youre considering (look under the transfer student part of Admissions) and KEEP all of your course information from your dual enrolled classes. Take nothing for granted, confirm/understand whats on the website and retain all of your email correspondences. And, most importantly, know that class and AP transfer varies from university to university. </p>
<p>Dual enrollment doesnt work for everyone, but it definitely worked for me.<br>
Good luck!</p>
<p>You can look up the pre-matriculation credit policies for the schools that you are thinking about. For example, at WUSTL, you can only get credit for dual-enrollment classes if they did not appear on your high school transcript (so unfortunately, I didn’t get any credit). I assume other selective colleges would have a similar policy, but this is just a guess.</p>
<p>It is a university rather than a CC, but not a terribly good one. </p>

<p>On transfer.org I’ve looked up course equivalencies between Ohio State and my dual-enrollment college. Are the listed courses the only ones that will transfer, or is that just a general guideline?</p>
<p>

<p>A lot of colleges seem to have this policy. What’s the reasoning behind it?</p>
