Community colleges have a dual mission -- to grant two-year associate degrees and to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges. I WOULD expect a 4-year state university to grant credit for non-remedial courses taken in community colleges in the same state, as spelled out in an "articulation agreement".

The College Board has an AP Credit Policy Info site http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/apcreditpolicy/index.jsp which links to school-specific sites.

Harvard has a system of online placement exams that students take over the summer, math and writing being required http://placement-info.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do . Probably many other universities do as well.
