They certainly will not accept them in direct transfer. You may, and I use "may" here very loosley, be able to apply them through their Prior Learning Assessment, but even then I highly doubt you'll get anything. I would HIGHLY advise you that, if you feel as though you learned something from your studies at CC, you check into CLEP & DANTES examinations. TESC WILL accept those. IMO, that's probably your best option.
Yes. It doesn't. Canyon College is about as close to being a diploma mill -- if it isn't actually one -- as an unaccredited institution (and I use the term "institution" lightly) can get. If any regionally- or nationally- or professionally-accredited school took even one semester hour's worth of credit in transfer therefrom, it should be reported to its accreditor. If you have any association whatsoever with Canyon College, terminate it immediately; do not mention it on a resume or even to your closest friends; run... run far, and run fast; and get a rabies shot. Do not even try to present Canyon College credits as in support of a prior learning assessment at any other school. Don't even mention it, lest you risk not being able to later wash off the stink. The last part of lonewolf's advice is probably the best option: If you actually believe you learned anything from any of Canyon College's courses, then prove it by going and taking the appropriate, equivalent CLEP or DANTES exam(s) and converting as many of the courses into real credit that you actually can use without embarrassing yourself by mentioning that Canyon College had anything to do with it!
Seems to me that we answered Mona's question and provided some corrective action but we haven't explained to her "why". Most simply put: Canyon College is not regionally accredited (RA) nor is it accredited by a body recognized by the US Dept. of Education. Thomas Edison State College (TESC) is RA. Maximum transferability will come with regional accreditation. Even then, schools have the option to accept transfer credit or not and each school is different. Even if your work is RA, the school you're transferring into may not accept some of your credit. If the credit is from a school that is not RA, then you can expect that it will not transfer to a school that is RA (with very few general exceptions).
Hey Coach The accreditation angle you mention is important but even more important is the fraudulent and deceptive practices of CC. I won't even go in the long list of such transgressions.
Let's be clear, however, that just because a school is not RA, doesn't necessarily make it bad. Canyon College, however, is bad.
Well, if I must, I must . . . This "oldie but goodie" is a letter I sent to the president of Canyon as a result of their trying to hold a then-participant on degreeinfo.com to an employment agreement for a faculty position. The guy, whose name I have deleted here (although, historically, many people know who was involved) had come to the realization that Canyon is a degree mill and, after they acted like schmucks with him, he was released from his contract as a result of this letter. It has become somewhat of a classic, I'm told, but I keep it around because it's so revealing about Canyon itself. So without further adieu . . .
whew... I burst out laughing after reading that one. I trust all is well...however, it looks like the school may have moved: Canyon College 111 Poplar Street Caldwell, Idaho 83605
