Got a question for the hive mind: If I've taken dual enrollment courses during high school, will UCLA accept these credits? I'm trying to see if it'll help me graduate earlier.
Yes, UCLA does accept credits from many dual enrollment programs. However, they evaluate these credits on a course-by-course basis to ensure they align with the curricula offered at the university. You'll want to make sure your courses are transferrable by referencing the UCLA Transfer Admission Guide and discussing it with an admissions officer or a counselor. Keep in mind that there might be a limit on how many credits UCLA will allow you to transfer.
If you've excelled in your dual enrollment classes, it's certainly possible that they'll help you move towards your degree faster at UCLA. It's always a good idea to keep a copy of your course syllabi too, as those can sometimes be helpful if there's any question about the content of your courses when you're transferring credits. Good luck!
