<p>When schools say "need 30 or more credits", do they mean transferable credits or total credits? Kind of stupid question but thought I'd ask anyway.</p>
<p>Very few college credits are non-transferable. They will be counted as elective credits. 2 separate private colleges accepted a tennis class as an elective despite offering no health or physical education classes. However, I doubt a school will accept a 0xx-level remedial class listed as non-credit at your current institution.</p>
<p>When colleges request 30 or more credits, they’re looking for you to 1) stay on track to graduate on time, 2) hold a sufficient academic record to be considered for admission.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. So I’m assuming it is total credits then.</p>
