Transferring online community college credits to Purdue University?

I'm interested in taking online courses at a community college and then transferring to Purdue University. Anyone have experience with how well these credits transfer, especially from online courses?

The transferability of credits from a community college or any other institution to Purdue University really depends on several factors including the specific courses taken, the accreditations of the community college, and the degree program you are pursuing at Purdue.

Purdue University does accept credits for transfer from many higher education institutions around the nation. To make sure your credits are transferable, you'll want to check with both your community college’s registrar and Purdue’s admissions office or the specific department of your intended major, as they'd have the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Purdue University has a Transfer Credit Database on its website, which you can use to enter the course information from your community college and see how it has previously been articulated at Purdue. This can give you a good idea of how your credits might transfer. Remember, however, that this is not a guarantee, and it's always a good idea to consult with a counselor or the admissions department for the most accurate information.

Taking courses online should not affect the transferability of your credits. Colleges tend to focus more on the coursework itself, rather than the medium through which it was delivered. However, it's worth mentioning that the courses you're taking should be academic/professional in nature and should ideally match with Purdue's curriculum for the best chances of successful credit transfer.

In conclusion, your best course of action is to stay in regular contact with both the community college and Purdue, be mindful of accreditations, and use Purdue's Transfer Credit Database as a starting point for understanding how your credits might transfer.
