Can San Carlos online college credits transfer to other schools?

I'm considering taking some online courses from San Carlos College and am curious if the credits will transfer to other universities, especially those in California. Has anyone had experience with transferring these credits?

It's true that credit transferability can vary widely between institutions. While I don't have specific information about San Carlos College, here are some general tips to help you make an informed decision.

Firstly, check if San Carlos College is regionally accredited, because credits from regionally accredited institutions are more likely to be transferable than those from nationally accredited or non-accredited schools. Even then, it's not guaranteed, because every university has its own policies about accepting credits from other schools.

Another important step is to reach out directly to the Californian universities you're interested in transferring to later. Ask these schools specifically about transferring credit from San Carlos College. It could be helpful to know in advance which courses you plan on taking at San Carlos College, so you can ask about them specifically.

Additionally, find out if San Carlos College has any established articulation agreements with any universities you're considering. Articulation agreements are formal agreements between two colleges or universities that state which credits will be accepted for transfer between them.

Remember, due to the variability in credit acceptance policies, any online course should be taken for the learning experience and skills acquired, not just for the potential credit points.
