I'll fourth this. I know somebody that works in one of these types of institutions and they will take anybody that will to come. I heard a story of a lady that wanted to get into the nursing program. She had a criminal record that would make it very hard for her to get a job after graduating. Even with that known she was still enrolled and I don't think they told her that the criminal background might prevent employment. Basically it's very likely she is spending a lot of money for a low chance of employment.
Credits are the worst thing about transferring to any college. I graduated from a community college and decided to go back to a state school for a bachelor's and only 16 of my 60+ credits actually accounted for anything. I got about 20 something in electives. My sister and brother-in-law went to the same school to get some of there gen-ed classes finished and several of those didn't transfer. The best thing to do is to call like Sonic suggested. Unless a school has an explicit agreement with another school, I wouldn't assume anything will transfer.
