Transfer credits from community college to university

I've taken some courses at some community colleges. I had transcripts sent from the community colleges to a university to be given credit for Bachelor's degree requirements. I have a question how those courses should be listed in the education section of a resume.

Should it be listed:

Option A)

Education
[list=1:7c9b5b2205]
University XXXX-XXXX
Community college XXXX-XXXX
[list=1:7c9b5b2205]
Relevant Coursework: Financial Accounting

[/list:o:7c9b5b2205]
[/list:o:7c9b5b2205]

Option

Education
[list=1:7c9b5b2205]
University XXXX-XXXX
[list=1:7c9b5b2205]
Relevant Coursework: Financial Accounting

[/list:o:7c9b5b2205].
[/list:o:7c9b5b2205]

Option C) Other?

I would use option A.

Optiion B gives the impression thaty you had taken the course at the university when you did not.

ajs1976,

Thank you for your prompt reply. The reason why I thought of Option B is because:

My community college transcripts were evaluated by the university. Since the "financial accounting" course at the community college level was determined to be equivalent to the university level course, I was given credit for university level course which also satisfied my bachelor's degree requirement.
I was just attending the community college to take these lower division transferable courses to transfer to the university without an intent to pursue a credential at the community college.

I agree with this. A recruiter once told me that since the community college credits are part of your university degree, they don't need to be listed.
