Review the course catalog of the college or university you're transferring to. Check the list of required courses for your major. Most state colleges and universities will accept all the credit hours from an associate degree in general courses from an accredited community college.
Research the college's policies on transferable credit hours. This is often included in the course catalog or on the college's website. For example, some colleges might give you credit for the course, but with fewer course credits toward your degree than the original school. Others review each course individually. Colleges usually require that you have a C- or higher in the class to receive credit for it.
Discuss your classes with your academic adviser to get advice on transferable courses for your major. Ask if you're taking the correct classes for your major, and if not, what you should take. Find out if you should take specific classes that are prerequisites for other classes you'll need and ask if all the classes will transfer to the school you plan to attend.
Go to the website of the school you plan to attend to check for course equivalencies. For example, the University of Colorado Boulder provides a transfer guide on its admissions website. A student can select the degree program he wants to research and find the recommended courses he should take.
Use a website, such as "u.select" to further compare courses at both schools. To check equivalencies at this site, click the "Equivalencies by Course" tab in the left navigation and select the state and school you're transferring to. Enter the course you want to transfer and the school where you took it. Then click "Find."
