My daughter will have 19 dual enrollment classes for a total of 61 credits. She is a senior and has been accepted into college as a freshman at 4 schools thus far. In generic terms from visiting colleges etc she will be a freshman with advanced credit standing. One college specifically told my daughter that even though credit wise she will be way over a certain amount she still has to take a freshman orientation type 1 credit class required of all freshman.
My daughter’s credits from college are listed on her high school transcript to an extend. For instance it says dual enrollment English and grade. However my daughter had to request and bring the high school guidance counselor a sealed envelope with the official college transcript. The guidance counselor entered it on naviance. She will have to do it again as soon as this semester’s transcript is available (next week is finals week). After the spring semester my daughter can submit it directly to the college she will be attending.
As to credits counting towards a minor I think that once you get accepted into a college and have the college transcript officially evaluated and know what is being accepted for what if you meet the minor requirements after that you can declare the minor.
Some colleges have a way of checking which college credits they accept from another college. It is often found on the transfer section. The name varies but I’ve seen transfer equivalency calculator, transfer dictionary etc. For instance one college may not give credit for business law, another may give credit for the business law class, another may just give elective credit.
