Do I even qualify to take a CCP course?

Will the credits I earn be accepted at all colleges?
Each institution has its own policies. It is up to each college or university to evaluate your transcript and determine whether and how they will accept the transfer credits. If you have questions about a specific school, it is recommended that you contact their admissions department directly.

Where can I get more information?
