hours beyond the credits below are not guaranteed to apply toward the bachelor’s degree.
2. It is imperative that you contact an advisor at the 4-year institution by the end of the first semester to

3. This Transfer Guide does not supplant any other transfer agreement your Colorado community
college may have with this 4-year institution.
Transfer Recommendations: To graduate in a 4 year overall time frame, it is important that students follow the
recommended schedule below. Students who wish to continue their education at the community college beyond the
number of credits specified below should explore with both 2-yr and 4-yr advisors how their graduation timeline, COF
stipend, and financial aid will be affected.
Guarantees and Limitations: Students:
 are responsible for meeting all admission requirements at the 4-year institution;
 are not guaranteed admission to the bachelor’s degree program at the 4-year institution;
 are guaranteed, once admitted, application of the transfer hours below to either lower division general education,
course work required for the major, or elective credit;
 must consult with the 4-year institution’s bachelor’s degree program to utilize AP, IB, or CLEP credits;
 must consult with the 4-year institution’s bachelor’s degree program for transferability of course work credits
beyond those prescribed below as additional courses are major specific and the 4-year institution may restrict the
number of community college transfer credits.
