Off-campus and on-campus courses are the same
All Iowa State off-campus courses coordinated by ISU Extension carry residential credit, the same credit awarded for study on campus. Credits earned are recorded on an official ISU transcript and may be applied toward degree programs at ISU or elsewhere.

Transfer credit acceptance is decision of home institution
Whether another institution will except credit in transfer is always a decision made at the home institution, the one that will eventually award the degree. You may need to submit a course description to your academic adviser to make certain the course covers material acceptable in your degree program.
