College Search
This is my favorite site for helping students see how their performance in high school has readied them for college. Students add different colleges to their dashboard along with their grades from high school to see if they are on track to go to that college, how much money they can be expected to pay, and scholarship that may be available to them. Best of all it is completely free.

Transfer Your Credits!
On this website you can create an account and then choose classes you have taken through JWCC DUAL CREDIT classes at Western.
You can then see how these credits will transfer to the University or College of your choice.
The website will tell you whether the course will exempt you from taking a college level course at your college or if they will only give you elective credits.
