<p>I just noted something in your original post - you say the online course number for a DIFFERENT cc matches the course number for USC’s articulation agreement - do not assume that a course from a DIFFERENT cc would transfer the same way - courses vary cc to cc and in that case the course may not be accepted. The sensible thing to do would be to take the online course from the cc that actually has the course on USC’s articulation agreement - the course is online, so location of the cc should not be an issue.</p>
