So I’m a freshman at a CC and I’m getting some conflicting information about how an Associate’s Degree can increase the odds of getting the transfer into a university. Is this true or would I just be wasting time and money?

Many four year universities have a policy regarding transfers who already hold a degree of some kind. If the policy information isn't easily or readily accessible, I would reach out to an advisor or the admissions department. The university I attended waives all general education requirements when you come in with an associate's.

Associate degrees usually only help with vocational transfers or jobs, a 4 year university is usually interested in the performance at equivalent classes and credits earned.

Not if it requires something like an extra 12 units that will NOT count towards graduation requirements at the university.

I'm in the same boat as you right now and I'm getting my Associates before I transfer just so I can put it on my resume. Even if all my classes don't transfer a degree is still a degree.
