It means the University of Arizona will accept your credits; however, when transferred, your courses from University of Phoenix will not be equivalent to the classes at U of A. (They won’t transfer as the same exact course at the University of Arizona).The person explaining this probably told you they would be accepted as electives. To be 100% sure make sure you speak with someone again and ask as many questions as possible until you understand it.

It’s at the school’s discretion whether to accept your credits or not. Each school thinks their way is the best way. So when you transfer credits, you may end up having to take courses similar to those you already took, because they are the new school’s ‘proper’ courses. You could luck out and they’ll accept most, but it’s not likely that they will accept all of them toward a degree.
