Transferring credits in Arizona
Arizona has no statewide credit-transfer guarantee, so transfer is decided school by school. Confirm with the receiving college before relying on any credit - GAO found students lose about 37% of credits transferring between public institutions, which is the assumption our savings estimate uses.
What dual enrollment costs in Arizona
Dual Enrollment (A.R.S. 15-1821.01)
Price set locally
Arizona law sets NO statewide price and NO statewide waiver. The statute requires each community college district and each school district/charter to sign an intergovernmental agreement that must state how college tuition is paid on behalf of the student and whether the college awards scholarships or grants to dual enrollment students, so what a family pays depends entirely on the local agreement. In practice this ranges from $0 (some districts and colleges absorb the cost) to the college's published dual enrollment rate; no verifiable statewide dollar figure exists, so cost fields are null.
Who can enroll. Students must be high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors, must satisfy the published college course prerequisites and comply with the college's placement policies, and must be enrolled full time in a high school program (seniors finishing graduation requirements part time are exempt); homeschooled students may fully participate. Courses must be above the level taught by the high school and transferable to an Arizona Board of Regents university or applicable to a community college occupational degree/certificate; physical education is excluded. Scope: Arizona public community college districts offering courses at the high school during the school day.

Which classes transfer in Arizona
Dual-enrollment credit is college credit. Pick the community college on the transcript, then the four-year you want those courses to count at. These are college-to-college course pairs published by the state system. A match means that sending course has a published equivalent at the receiving college - not that every credit will apply to a specific major. 155,313 published rows from AZTransfer Course Equivalency Guide.
