If you are asking if colleges will accept credits from other colleges when you apply, this is my answer:

A lot of colleges accept college credits earned by HS students at other colleges IF: 1) The credits earned are equivalent to a class within the specific major 2) If they accept credits from the particular college.

That may not make sense, but basically, if you were to take classes say at a community college, they would likely accept them but they need to be similar to the classes you would be "skipping". A lot of schools have on their websites what they accept from which colleges, what classes are equal, and how many credits you can transfer. If the website does not have that information, then you need to reach out to the school and get connected with an admission officer. Normally, you can transfer most general education classes (math, english, writing, science) and save a lot of time and money.

I am including an example of credit equivalency comparsion for Delaware Valley University. tes.collegesource.com/publicview/TESpublicview01.aspx?rid=edc15eb8-083d-4d11-99b3-00b5dfd94781&aid=78653f22-82a1-4ce8-b9c4-b39376f1e130

Play around with it to understand how it works. You choose what college you have or will get credits from and then see the list of what DVU accepts from them and which DVU classes they are equal to.

Hope this helps, and if you were trying to ask something else, comment below.
