(which, is why i'm in the situation i'm in now ) Luckily, the credit evaluator did hep me find some equivalents.
This year i've noticed that a lot of schools give you a list of the courses they will transfer over from your transcript once you have been accepted which is nice when deciding what school to choose.
You need to find out what is appropriate and accepted for residency because states are much stricter about it than before. Just what I glanced for Alabama requires a lot of proof, which can include financial independence, and not moving to Alabama just for school. That could mean going a couple months early and getting a job, living off campus, changing your car, license, voter registration, bank account, filing taxes, and on and on. Oregon is so strict that you can not be considered a resident if you attend school at all in your first year there. You could be put in a bad situation if your parents are claiming you on their taxes yet you claim residency in Alabama, and not filing taxes. I was kind of shocked if they receive documentation with an out of state address you get booted back to non-resident, crazy.
