    Ok, I went to community college for the first two years and then transferred to the University. My community college transcript shows that I earned 68 credit hours however only 65 credit hours were transferred to the University. Some courses like principles of accouting were 4 cerdit hour course in community college but I guess the University only recognized as 3 credit hour course. So, now here I have infront of me two transcript..One from the community college stating that I have earned 68 credit hours and the another one from University stating that the credits that got transferred is just 65. For the 150 hour requirement, would I count on the 3 extra credit given by the community college. Hey its in the transcript and I earned it. Any suggestions…

    I'm not sure if this is different per state but in California, we send in all transcripts from every school. The CBA gave me credit for my courses on a college by college basis. I think it will depend on if the state board thinks the class qualifies for their requirements. I'm guessing it will, unless your university rejected the class because it was substandard or something. But usually they reject because the class doesn't fit their definition of a similar class or whatever and it wouldn't get you out of re-taking the class at their school.

    My 150 hour requirement (in Texas) looked at what my community college transcript said, not what was transferred.

    You need to send in all transcripts. I made the mistake of just sending in my bachelors degree one (like you, I did 2 years at CC). I figured just send my university transcript since they had at the top all credits transferred. But that's not the case. You've got to send both of them. It'll probably benefit you more, because, the university might not have taken a couple, but the state will! It slowed down my application process by not sending them all in.

    FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
    BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

    Thank you guys. Since I am taking the classes from the community college adding one more class would not increase my cost. The only thing is I have to buy books and put some extra effort in that course. I don't wanna take changes, so I will take the class anyways. Thanks

    It would be best to send them all in (just in case) but some states only recognize credits from accredited institutions.

    AUD 6/24/11- 76
    BEC 11/23/11 - 79
    FAR 11/26/12 - 76
    REG 1/14/12 - 82

    I guess all states only accept credits from accredited college–only the difference is some recognize both nationally and regionally accredited college and some only regionally accredited…
