How would 4-credit courses transfer to a college where the courses are only 3 credits?

If a 4-credit course has a corresponding course at a second college which is only 3 credits, how would the 4-credit course be transferred? Would one credit be dropped for each transferred 4-credit course?|||Are you on quarters or semesters? Where I go they check to see if the class you have taken is 70% compliant with the class the university offers... they then give you credit as if you have taken that class.





So if I took a 3 credit class at a semester school and transfer then they would look to find a class they offer that matches the class I took and give me credit for that, which would be a 5 credit class on the quarter system, and vice verse.





Bottom line they are gonna find what class they offer and give you credit for that if it matches the curriculum of that class. So it would vary school by school.
