<p>Hi,
I am a junior and have taken two AP classes and two DE classes this school year. I have all but two credits I need to graduate and was planning on going full time duel enrolled at my state college for my senior year, taking my two required classes plus many more. I have recently discovered that some out of state colleges won't take duel enrolled classes. Is this true? I am a Florida resident thinking about going to UGA, UF, or University of Alabama. I don't want to go full on duel enrolled next year if my credits won't be accepted; I'll just stay at my HS campus and take AP classes. I also read that some colleges only take a min number of DE transfer credits. Is this true too? I'm just really confused about all of this because my HS advisor is not well informed at all and everytime I try and call my colleges of intrest I am put on hold. Would I be better off to just take AP?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Yes, it is true some schools won’t offer credit for DE (or AP) credits. You should check with each school to find out. They may need to see the course descriptions to verify they meet the 4 year college’s requirements. If you get put on hold then try E-Mailing.</p>
<p>And it is “dual”, not “duel”. Since you used the wrong word three times I assumed it was not a typo ;)</p>
<p>Florida public to Florida public transfer credit should be easy to determine, based on the common course numbering system.</p>
<p>But, while out-of-state public schools may accept transfer credit, they may not have pre-made course equivalency lists, so you may not know the equivalency until you have your courses individually evaluated after you enroll. Some schools (usually private) do not accept transfer credit for college courses taken during high school. AP credit policies vary as well. Check each school’s web site.</p>
<p>Varies by school and class. I’m transferring credits from a community college to MIT, but it’s for a math class, so it worked more easily. If I tried to transfer my Chinese I & II credits, they wouldn’t work because the Chinese classes at MIT are too different (more advanced). Also, my Stats credit won’t transfer because it’s not calculus-based.</p>
<p>Much of the time, it just depends on if your DE classes line up with the classes of the school, and their overall policy on transfer credit.</p>
<p>It depends on the schools and the programs and for what purposes. As Luisarose is saying, she can get some comm college credits accepted by MIT. But then, not all. So it often works. My son got one DE course accepted and is now appealing the other. The problem is having with the one declined is that there is really not a course at his college that is exactly the same as that particular one, so he has to show that there is enough similarity to get a gen ed credit for it and go through that round. But some college just will not accept any or very limited AP or DE or even courses taken over the summer at another college for credit under any circumstance or in various circumstances. </p>
<p>For instance, one son got full credit for AP Bio, 7 credits and it full filled his science req for his college. But had he been a bio major or premed, he would only get the credits towards gen ed and it would not have fulfilled the bio req for him. Many schools have different requirements for different majors and how the credits are used, so you have to keep an eye on them, if you change majors. We went through what I felt was a ridiculous charade with my one son for him to get a double major. The second major required Calc 1 and 2 type courses at the college, neither of which my son took as he tested out of them and went right to LIn Alg. So he had no calc. What a pain that caused.</p>
