It is very important to know what you’re doing when wishing to transfer to a 4 year school. Every state is different in this regard. In North Carolina the community college system has an agreement with all state supported schools. The catalog tells you what classes will transfer. However, you can still get into trouble with a math only transferring as an elective. We were advised to have my son get a two year degree, not just take transfer courses. The state supported colleges take that two year degree for all his general education courses. He will transfer in as a Junior and then take the courses in his major. I can let you know this time next year how this works out! Knowing what I know now, I would take to the guidance counselor at the community college and at any 4 year college where you might transfer.

Yes, but it IS critically important to take courses that will
transfer to the new school (e.g., plan in advance where to go later,
and check their requirements for the desired field).
When I was in college, many people who had transferred from community
colleges had to
take tons of extra classes because our school
required 4 hours of X, they only had 3 hours, and there were no 1
hour courses. Just watch out for this sort of thing.
