Yes, I verified that the SLAC’s do not accept DE credit taken prior to high school graduation, so he would have to forfeit those 60 hours. I was told he could take a placement test to place into higher level math and foreign language courses, but he would still not receive credit for the waived calculus, statistics, and foreign language courses at any of the LAC’s. This wasn’t necessarily a deal breaker, since the level of rigor of these courses at the SLACs is quite a bit higher than at the local state college where he earned these credits. Nonetheless, it does pose some challenges for completing a double major within 4 years, so this was the one major point in favor at the state flagship, which will honor all the transferred credits to satisfy most of their general education/distribution requirements. He will be considered a junior for purposes of registration, but still plans to spend the full 4 years in college.
