Allana,
It is the determination of the receiving institution on whether or not they will accept the credits. Many factors are involved, accreditation is just one piece of the puzzle.

Something important to keep in mind in the law school realm is that the amount of credits that that transfer depend on whether the student is transferring from an ABA accredited institution or a state accreditate institution. It varies.
It is helpful to have a copy of the catalog description of the other program. It is very nice when institutions use the common sourse numbering, but many do not. Therefore, reviewing the course description is helpful to match courses before allowing transfer of credits. It is also critical to have the official transcript--received by your registrar sealed and unopened from the other schools--before determining the transfer credit.
True. I inform the student that we may accept transfer credits with the approval of the DOE, but it would be up to the incoming school if he were looking to transfer our credits to another school.
Nereida,
Transfer of credits is determined by the receiving institution. It is the responsibility of the student to properly research.
Ernesto,
Transfer of credits is very complicated and the student must do the research. Every school is different and every evaluation is different.
The transferability of credits is mainly determined by the accepting institution. There really isn't a standard method that is used by all schools.. it's more of an evaluation than a clear cut line on what can transfer or not.
This is only part of it. The transfer of credits goes deeper than that, you actually have to look at the course description and see if it matches the description of the other institutions class. Also the common course numbering system comes into play from time to time and the amount of credits.
