Not that it necessarily matters for our purposes here on the forum, most of us aren't utilizing community colleges the way we do alternative credit sources.
I bet it's all. But yeah, that's a lot of community college! Who gets that many? I bet they had a student with over 80 which prompted them to make the rule...
Well... I have 174 from CC's.
When I left HS I enrolled in a Fire Science Degree without really understanding how college works, ended up with 100 credits on that degree (A.A.S.) because I enjoyed the coursework and I just kept taking more and more classes each semester. I still finished in two years. (I left HS with 20 credit hours, took a paid internship for 2 credits over the summer. The other 78 hours were in 4 semesters... )
After that, I found the need to take a paramedic program to increase my ability to be promoted at work. When it was all said and done, 174 hours.
Of course, no one bothered to explain the difference between an AA, AS, and an AAS so I have two of those and still have to take additional lower division credit courses. (Yes, I recognize and accept the fact that it was my fault for not previously researching this, but why would someone think that it mattered? Especially a nieve high school kid. lol) So, now I'm going to earn even more lower division credit so that I can finish a bachelor's (or two .)
