Answer 1: Yes. With most bachelors programs, the associate degree's major almost doesn't matter. All the bachelors program really cares about is whether or not the associates degree contains all of the right "lower division general education" (LDGE) courses.

A two-year associates, remember, is equivalent to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of a four-year bachelors. Said four-year bachelors requires certain LDGE of its freshman and sophomore students; and so it will be looking for approximately those same LDGE courses in the associates that's being transferred into it. That's really, when you get right down to it, all that the bachelors program cares about.

And because you're asking about an AS degree -- which, by nature, contains more math and science courses than an AA degree -- then your AS degree will likely be quite acceptable as equal to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of pretty much any either BA or BS degree program. If you had an AA, then it might not contain enough math/science for a BS degree; and so said BS program might require a couple additional math and science courses before it would let you become a full junior. But an AS degree would likely be acceptable to either a BA or BS program.

So, you're probably okay.

I could get into how, in some states, like California, for example, the transferring associates degree requirements of the two different state school systems (the California State University system versus the University of California system) are a little different; and so the associate degree seeker must be ever-mindful of which system into which s/he eventually intends to transfer his/her associates degree; and must, then, craft said associates degree so that it will meet the standards of whichever bachelors degree system s/he ultimately enters...

...but... oy!... that's beyond the scope of this question.

Can you transfer online paralegal training credits to a University?

This is subjective. It all depends on the online school you attended, as quite a few online schools do not have credits that transfer. It also depends on the University, many Universities will accept credits, but sometimes they will not accept all the credits that you earned at your previous school. Most colleges and Universities will have there accreditation listed on their website, if you can find two schools that are accreditted through the same company your credits will most likely be transferable. I would caution you not to fill out any admissions forms for any colleges or Universities until you have figured out if your credits will transfer because if they wont, you will have to start all over with your degree.
