How dual credit changes this math
Students in most states can earn college credit during high school through dual enrollment, AP, and CLEP, sometimes at a lower price than university enrollment. A course can transfer but still satisfy only an elective, or be denied when it does not fit the receiving college’s degree requirements.
The calculator is a modeled scenario, not a promised result. Residency, course sequencing, catalog timing, and the receiving college’s final decisions can prevent the modeled reduction. The Credit Map uses published sources and flags what still needs confirmation; it does not bind University of South Carolina-Columbia.
