Oh that's horrible that the credits didn't transfer!!! I forgot to take into account that I graduated in 2009, so location and time could factor into this. Higher education is a scam if you get a philosophy/gender studies/art degree lol... if you get a degree that can actually earn you a decent income, I think it's fine. A lot of people are wasting money on useless degrees. I believe it comes from the lie that we are told in high school that you need to get a degree, any degree because it's better than not having one... which isn't true at all. It's all about getting the proper education/training/certification that will allow you to make a decent living.... so step one is figuring out what you want to do and step two is choosing the best path to get there. (Degree, vocational training, certification, apprenticeship, etc.)
They went to a accredited community college to get the basic stuff taken care of cheaper. UT did not accept the credits. The price of college is ridiculous today. It's a stem degree.
That's atrocious!!!!!! And I agree the prices are outrageous. The gov't needs to stop guaranteeing loans! That is a huge part of the problem. Colleges can keep raising their tuition rates because 18 year olds are guaranteed as much $ as they need for whatever degree they are getting. Just awful. I'm truly sorry your offspring has had to deal with that.
They are getting a real education, and working thru it. I could not be prouder. It is eye opening. High schools need to be teaching trades instead of the fluff marxists bullshit. College is over rated today.

Just my two cents...
