It seemed strange to me too! I also wonder if it is different after the AA degree is completed - or if it's only different with an AA degree in Washington State, where we have the joint agreement. It's good to have a heads-up on the possibility, so that you can check into it for your own college.

UW, for example, has a chart on their website that's very informative re: what courses transfer from the CC. Of course, too, if the student completes his AA those issues are no longer. Thanks for your reply. Seems like this would more be private colleges? UW, for example, has a chart on their website that’s very informative re: what courses transfer from the CC.

For that reason, some homeschoolers choose to take an AP exam after a community college class, so that if the community college credit isn't accepted, they hope the AP credit is accepted. Like MOST things, every university policy is VERY unique, so you want to check. I wouldn't assume one way or the other, and I wouldn't give additional AP exams unless you check with the university first. Blessings, Lee Hi Kimm,
