Dual Enrollment

Almost all Privates will consider CC classes taken by HS students as “preparation” and not grant any school credit if and when you get accepted and enroll. But State Public on the other hand gladly accept the credits earned (subject to transfer agreement, see point 1). Most onerous is USC which states CC credits earned as HS students do not transfer. Whereas same credits earned after graduation applies fully as transfer (makes not sense but oh well).

Private schools do not want students to graduate early, since that means losing a tuition paying semester or few. State schools want students to graduate as soon as possible, since most students are subsidized. That is the most likely reason for differences in accepting college credit earned while in high school.
