WGU courses seem to be pretty specific to their own programs, so they might not always have equivalents at other schools. But it's RA credit, nothing is stopping them from being transferred other than whatever the receiving school's policies are.
Keep in mind that the same logic applies to credits taken at any RA school, not just WGU. It is always up to the destination school as to whether they will accept transfer credits towards their own degrees or not, and if so how many courses will transfer.
There are plenty of horror stories about people who complete a ton of courses (up to nearly a full degree worth) from a B&M college and transfer schools only to find that most of their credits don't transfer, or are not accepted towards the same degree program at their new school due to minor differences in the curriculum. As jsd mentioned, WGU can make this a bit harder since some of their courses are rather specific to the degree programs offered at WGU and may not have equivalencies at every school.
