Transfer Credit

Knowing what is required to transfer can help you map an appropriate academic schedule for your remaining terms at your current school. Credits must be academic in nature and completed at a C- or higher.

The goal of this process is to recognize previous work that you have completed that meet our standards for academic content and rigor. Our policies and procedures for transfer and applicability of course credits to a CU Boulder degree incorporate these basic principles:

We expect to verify whether or not the student's experience at the other institution is appropriately commensurate with the experience of students in similar courses offered by CU Boulder with respect to content, academic level, scope and relevance.听
Can that experience of reasonable comparability and applicability be documented in some manner, (e.g. coming from a fully accredited college or university)?
Can that experience of reasonable comparability and applicability be documented by the student via other means such as textbooks, syllabi, exams, papers, projects, etc?

Watch our tutorial video below to learn how to read your transfer credit evaluation.

Higher Education Admission Recommendations

Transfer students applying to undergraduate programs are strongly encouraged to meet the following .听
Students may be admitted to CU Boulder even though they have not completed all of the HEAR courses. There are no consequences if HEAR is not met. However, not completing HEAR might result in taking additional courses to meet the CU Boulder graduation requirements of individual majors.

Articulation Agreements

allow you to graduate from a Colorado community college with a 60-credit Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree and complete the bachelor鈥檚 degree in no more than an additional 60 credits. Institutional transfer pathways are available for the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Media, Communication and Information and the College of Engineering and Applied Science for majors that do not have a statewide articulation agreement.

International Transfer Credit Evaluations

We offer two types of transfer credit evaluations for international students, both of which are completed after a student has been admitted to CU Boulder.

A听Full Transfer Credit Evaluation听is an in-depth review of all course-work previously completed at recognized colleges and/or universities for applicability toward CU Boulder degree and graduation requirements.听 In order to complete a Full Transfer Credit Evaluation for courses taken outside of the United States, we require听full and complete official course descriptions听of each course taken, which should include each course鈥檚 specific academic content.听 If these course descriptions are not in English, you must provide a听Certified English Translation听(see below for details). It is strongly recommended that you submit full and complete course descriptions with all other required application materials. Information submitted should be one PDF format for each course and include your full name.听
If we do not receive full and complete course descriptions, you will receive a听Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation.听This preliminary evaluation is a general review of how course-work previously completed at recognized colleges and/or universities听might听transfer to the University of Colorado Boulder. A Preliminary Credit Evaluation will identify those courses that appear to be academic in nature and are transferable, but will likely not provide information on how those courses will count toward degree completion and/or graduation requirements.

A Special Note on Certified English Translations

If a course description is not in English, you will need to get a literal, certified (or official) English translation. It should not be interpretive. A certified (or official) translation will be different depending on what is considered an official translation in your country. In some countries, official translations are only issued by the school. In other countries, official government translators issue official translations.听Some countries do not offer translations through a government network, and the student must find a private translation service to issue the translation.听We also suggest that you visit or consult with听听to see if it offers translations, or can refer you to a service.
