Courses listed with a single asterisk (*) are not articulated by the SC CHE and may not transfer into some programs at some four-year college and university.  Both the articulated and non-articulated courses may transfer as disciple-specific and/or as fulfilling general education requirements; or they may be accepted only as elective coursework, depending on the student’s program of study.

Students are responsibly for checking with the specific college or university to which they plan to transfer (and preferably with their target program within that institution) to determine the transferability of any course.
