Specifically, you need to check the details with the university and your community college.

1) are both schools accredited? This will play a factor in knowing how many credits of your CC work can transfer to the university. And that also determines your academic standing at the university.

2) school calendars: the key dates for enrollment, transfer, application, etc. will be the university to which you want to transfer. So look at those carefully as that may affect when you can effect the transfer from the CC. For example, if your CC classes are not over by the time the University application deadline is due, there may be some delays in getting transcripts of the CC work completed that would transfer to the University.

It is probably a good idea to talk with an admissions counselor at the university AND the undergraduate adviser in the university department of your major. They may have insights and suggestions to share with you before you make a final decision on your transfer date.

hope this helps…best wishes.

Good luck!
