Do I have a case against my former college?

Kind of. Nothing for my courses specifically, but plenty from the school itself.

It is up to the university to determine whether any class from another school is transferrable. If you did not speak with the university you were considering going to about what classes may or may not transfer, the fault lies on you. The CC does not control that although a good CC will be able to what classes actually are transferrable to other schools a student is likely to attend. They aren't going to know what every university is going to accept or not.

One would surely think you would investigate this to some extent long before you took 61 classes (classes, not credit hours, correct because 61 classes is a LOT of classes.)

Yes that's classes. As for checking, I didn't check with the 4 year school until it was time to apply there. I did however check with the community college ahead of time and they told me everything was fine. The transfer office said Ohio has a program to make all classes interchangeable within the state. The head of the program when I asked said that he works with the program heads of 4 year schools to offer classes that will transfer. I've since found out that was a lie, but it was what I was told at the time.

can you support that with anything other than; they told me?

No, really - this is YOUR problem. It really was YOUR responsibility to check on what would or would not transfer to what 4 yr college. Pollcies change. It was on YOU to keep up with what you could do. You didn't. Too bad, so sad.
