[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes have to evaluate DE courses for potential credit transfer into my college.  I end up rejecting almost all of them because we have very strict rules about what kind of DE counts.  If you already have a pretty good sense of DC's college trajectory and specific schools in mind, it could be OK if you know the policies inside out and those policies are unlikely to change (and even then I would still get confirmation before enrolling in DE, and even _then_ I would still be open to the possibility of the credit not transferring after all).

To me the main reason to pursue DE is if it is a productive way for the individual student to learn: the right subject, right training, right opportunity, right level, or something like that.  Credit transfer is just a gamble unless you know exactly what colleges you are working with.

I've seen DE credit invoked for HS students for classes that were much less demanding than a college course, and at precisely the same level that one would take in HS anyway.  Not productive--except for the DE-granting school that collected money from the families to record credits I can't transfer.[/quote]

Isn’t it the same with AP?  Many college aren’t accepting those credits either.  Colleges figured out they lose money.[/quote]
