<p>I attend high school at a highly competitive charter school (top 15 in the US, about). I take a few dual-enrollment classes at a decent nearby university (top 160-170 according to US News report).
At my school GC says that all credits will transfer in-state, but may not necessarily transfer out-of-state. How can I tell if the college that I want to apply to will accept the credits? Do they act as regular transfer credits?</p>
<p>It depends on the college and their credit policies. You can always check the college website and see their policy.</p>
<p>Well, you’ll apply as a freshman, then they’ll assess your credits and transfer some/all/none after you’ve been admitted. I’m doing full-time dual enrollment, so I’ve looked into this a lot. MIThopeful is right, and that is the best way to find out. If you’re talking Harvard, you’re out of luck. But a lot of good schools do accept some dual enrollment credits, up to a certain amount (state schools usually take up to 60 credits, or the equivalent of 2 years, out of state public schools and private schools vary, but if they do, it’s usually less, like Georgetown’s four courses worth, a little less than a semester, or NYU’s 32 credits, which is a year there).</p>
<p>I’ve taken dual enrollment classes and my counselor has said something about if they are in my GPA (the schools paying) that most colleges will not take them, so defiantly double check with the school’s in particular.</p>
<p>Yes, there are some colleges that will not accept credit for dual enrollment classes if they are used to satisfy high school requirements. This is not the general rule, though, as there is no general rule.</p>
