Do college courses taken in high school transfer to universities?

I took a bunch of college courses during high school through a dual enrollment program. Does anyone know if universities typically accept these credits, and if so, how the transfer process works?

Many universities will accept dual enrollment courses for credit, particularly if those classes are in core academic areas and not specific to a high school curriculum. However, the decision on whether or not to accept dual enrollment credits varies from college to college.

Typically, in order for credits to transfer, the college or university you'll be attending must view the course as equivalent to one of its own. For example, if you took a Intro to Psych in high school through dual enrollment, that might count as credit towards a general psychology class at your university.

You'll need to understand the transfer policies at the universities you are aiming for. In some cases, a certain grade might be necessary for the college to accept the credit. Other colleges might limit the number of credits that can be transferred.

In terms of the process, usually, you'll have to send an official transcript from the college that provided the dual enrollment course to the university you'll be attending. The college or university’s registrar’s office typically handles this process. You may want to speak with an academic advisor or admissions officer at the college you are planning to attend for specific guidelines. They may be able to guide you through their particular process and give you an idea about how many of your credits are likely to transfer.
