College credits do not expire. Most are good forever. However, there are some programs that have a cutoff policies if prior coursework has been deemed antiquated and outdated. For example, if one took a computer programming course in 1983, evidently it would not be able to be used within a computer degree program. There are health related programs that have a cutoff of five, seven, or ten years for science courses. For example, human anatomy and physiology, microbiology, chemistry. In this case, it's not that the courses are outdated (the human body does not change), but for individuals entering the health professions, the school wants to make sure everything is fresh in the students mind, although there are changes in the advancement of technology. The general education courses, such a English, history, psychology, government, etc. are typically good forever.

Has anyone tried to transfer credits from University of Phoenix to the University of California Berkeley?

Transferring credits from one accredited institution to another institution holding the same accreditation should not be a problem as long as the course work is equivalent. That being said, whether the credits will be transferred is always dependent on the receiving institution, the specific department, and their transfer credit policies and regulations particular to that school. Thus, transferring credits from any school to another is never a guarantee. Some schools can be very selective when it comes to transferring credits. So, this is not an issue of just the University of Phoenix (which is an excellent university with the appropriate accreditation), but to all colleges and universities. At this time there is no standardized method or policy for transferring credits. Still, you can contact the University of California at Berkeley and inquire about there transfer credit policies.
