Each institution has their own policies concerning the acceptance of transfer credit. If credit is not accepted as transfer credit at another university, it is more than likely the school doesn't have an equivalent course or has a limited number of elective credits they allow students to transfer.

It's always in your best interest to call the school you plan to attend after high school to ask if they accept college credit earned during high school.
