It’s not just gas, I’m in CA and have mandatory behind-the-wheel training. The cheapest I’ve found it for is $350 and I can’t afford that, so I’m kind of forced to walk

I didn’t realize you didn’t have a license.
Sorry to revive thread but I have a semi-related question, if I go to an out-of-state/non-UC school would my credits transfer? I’m checking for some universities (even Stanford, an in-state school!) and they show that only 1-2 of my classes would transfer. Is there any way to dispute this?
This is very college dependent. Many colleges OOS will take fewer of your credits. You need to contact every college and ask.
More important…will your credits apply towards a degree? Ask that. One of my kids had credits, but zero of them applied to the degree program.

I don’t know if it counts as a “degree” but I’m completing IGETC requirements. I think that’s equivalent to an associate’s degree? Idk
Transferability of DE/CC classes depends on each individual schools.
Best to just assume they won’t. When S24 started, most OOS and CA private (Stanford and USC) schools list DE classes as “preparation” for freshman applicants.
DE classes listed on HS transcript and used as HS credit “almost” definitely will not transfer.
But 4 years later, a few of privates will allow submission of college transcripts for consideration, but even that is not guaranteed.

So I’ve done several DE history/English classes and extra misc classes (counted as electives) towards my HS graduation. My counselor said they’d count towards both graduation and IGETC, was that a lie?
S24 is basically giving up 60 semester (two years worth) units to go to a OOS private, known for CS and Computer Engineering. Had he chosen UCB or UCLA, he could have shaven one year from UG (not two because engineering classes are sequenced and there is no way to complete the degree in two years). That time could have been used to take “interesting” classes, work, research, sleeping in. But the school he picked (and giving up all the units in the process) just had more to offer than even UCB. He is ok with giving up those units because they did prepare him to get accepted. Whereas ithout them, he probably won’t have gotten in.
You may want to start thinking about what you’d do in that same situation.

They count toward UC/CSU credits. But private schools take issue with taking credits used for HS graduation.

Bullet point 2:
Transfer Credit | Student Services.
(Just saw USC revised it’s DE policy)
College Courses Taken During High School Enrollment
It isn’t an associates degree, but it does count for fulfilling lower division general education requirements at CSUs and most UCs (but note the slight variation in requirements for CSU and UC).
Transferability of courses varies by college transferred to. While assist.org shows California community college to UC and CSU subject credit, other schools may or may not have listings publicly accessible.
Their business models prefer students not to graduate early, so that they will pay tuition for a full 8 semesters.
Public universities subsidize most students (the in state ones) and may be packed to full capacity, so they have incentive to be generous with transfer credit so that students graduate in as few semesters as possible.

But as you can see from the 2 links, both USC and Stanford have loosened up a bit. 4 years ago, they were both hard NO, but now there is some room.
