Many � but not all � two-year colleges and four-year colleges accept dual-enrollment credits, and you may want to check the websites of individual colleges to learn about their transfer-credit policies. The information contained in this abbreviated guide is intended to answer the questions most frequently asked by faculty members and administrators regarding the SUNY Orange, Community College in the High School Program (CCHS).
