I currently live in Austin and attend the community college here. Before senior year ended I wanted to go to Columbia College Chicago, but I ended up going to community college. Now that fall semester has ended, I’m thinking about transferring to Columbia College. I have only 12 credits and looking at the details, I would have to apply as a freshman. I am so confused on what I what to do…PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
You need to have 24 units to transfer. (Link below)
Of course, if you apply as a freshman, not a transfer student, then you might be able to apply your credits, but still just be a freshman. Contact the transfer counselor and find out for sure.
Your community college may have a transfer center than can advise you as well.

First of all, your credits from the Community College should transfer over. How they would ultimately apply toward your degree is up to the receiving college.
Because of the number of completed credits you accumulated you’re still considered a Freshman. The college sets the criteria for their application process. Instead of doing a "deer and the headlights", standing in the middle of the road, get on the phone and contact someone from admissions!
You have two choices, take control or do nothing! There is no in between!
