Ans. The only reason a student would be required to take more than the standard half of credits for the four-year degree is if entrance into a required course at the four-year institution requires a prerequisite course which the student has not completed at the community college and the student cannot fit that prerequisite within the remaining credits to be taken at the four-year institution.
