How does SL courses transfer from one college to another

[rachel83az]

Since both schools are in Arizona, there is a pretty good chance that ASU will accept an AAS from Rio as block transfer credit. However, this is not guaranteed. You could, indeed, lose those credits. I would contact ASU admissions and tell them you're "about to graduate" (whether or not you actually are) from Rio with your AAS in Basketweaving* and ask if they will evaluate the courses separately for a BA in Wicker Furniture* or if they'll just bring it in as a GE credit block.

* Insert actual degrees here.

You should never assume that just because 2 colleges are in the same state, that the 4yr school will accept the 2yr school credits as a block transfer.  It's is completely conditional, and I would assume that they will NOT accept things as a block transfer unless it specifically says so.

CA for instance, usually allows CC's to take DSST exams - but US-system and CSU-system schools will not take them.  Almost all CC's there accept CLEP exams, but UC-systems school will not take them, while CSU-system schools normally will.  If you get an AA from a CA CC, the CSU and UC schools will still look at where the credits come from before giving you a block transfer.  The CC's make this clear up front.

I didn't say that they would. I said that there was a good chance. And then I found a link that shows that Rio degrees do transfer in a block of 35-37 credits.
