We were never discussing ACE/NCCRS credit here, and I was quoting you with the whole ASU is better than some CC. Again, nobody cares. Nobody is impressed with you taking Western Civ at ASU vs the local CC (and most state schools have transfer agreements with local CC's so they are actually probably happier if you take the course at the CC because they don't have to think about whether or not it will work - they know it does). If it checks the box, it's fine. You don't get extra super duper bonus points from taking it at ASU.
I agree with that no one cares.
However, when I was looking to transfer over the years Ive noticed a ton of schools place a limit on CC credit that can be transferred in. Even TESU and COSC do.
Also ton of ton of schools (especially b&m for bachelors require 60 credits be from a 4 year university. It is one of the reasons I choose the school I did. It was the only b&m school I could find that did not have this requirement and all my credits were CC, clep and ace.
But Ive never heard of school limit the amount of credit from a four University unless it hits the residency requirement. Like a school you need to 30 with them but even then you can usually transfer in more than 90 like to double major or something as long as you do the 30.
For someone like me who has ton of CC credit taking more CC isn't helpful.
So that is why I said in another thread somewhere that 4 year graded credit is more likely to transfer than CC credit.
Yes, you are correct - for someone with a lot of CC credits and wanting to transfer to a school that limits those, you are certainly better off taking some courses from a 4yr when possible. BUT, that's an entirely different scenario than we were discussing.
As for being more likely to transfer, you're probably wrong there. The MOST LIKELY credits that will transfer are ones between CC's and 4yr schools with transfer agreements. Those are going to be guaranteed. There is definitely NOT a guarantee of transfer between two 4yr schools.
And also the research ive done and the fact I ended up going to an out of state school.
But yes if you staying local or in the same state then CC would probably be better. I only speak from my own personal experience and findings which might not be the same if applied to other situations.
Oh and if you are lucky your state has site and shows how every single college in the state transfers 2 and 4 yr.
Also if you have articulation agreements use them. They sometimes "break" polices or limits on cc credit. Also statewide gen ed agreements and block transfers rock!
