How are dual enrollment credits shown on transcripts, and how can they transfer to another college?

• A. They appear on the college transcript as earned credits and count toward degree requirements if transferable, subject to the receiving institution’s transfer policies and state guidelines.
• B. They appear as pass/fail only and do not transfer.
• C. They are not shown on transcripts.
• D. They appear as courses failed.

Answer: (A)

Dual enrollment credits are actual college credits earned while you’re still in high school. They appear on the college transcript as earned credit hours, just like credits you earn after high school. When you transfer to another college, those credits can count toward your degree if the receiving institution accepts them as transfer credits, which depends on its transfer policies and any state guidelines or articulation agreements. Courses that align with the new program and come from an accredited college tend to transfer more smoothly, and they may be applied toward degree requirements or, in some cases, counted as general or elective credits. If a transfer is not approved, the credits might not count toward degree requirements at the new college, or they may be treated differently in the transfer evaluation.
