  1. You are considered a transfer student if you have 24 credit hours of completed, college coursework. While we will transfer in credit from a JST or CCAF transcript, these documents cannot be used for admission purposes, and do not count toward the 24 credit hour minimum. If you have less than 24 credits, you can still apply to UCCS; you will need to submit a high school transcript and ACT/SAT scores along with a freshman admissions application. Students who have not taken the ACT or SAT are encouraged to complete 24 credits at Pikes Peak Community College. Please email us for assistance with course selection: transfer@uccs.edu.
     
  2. UCCS provides veteran and military students the option of having their military transcripts reviewed for undergraduate academic credit and/or course waiver. TheUCCS Military Transfer Credit Policy creates a comprehensive transfer credit package for veteran and military students who have served in the United States Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy or Coast Guard. 
     
  3. The Military Transfer Credit policy is designed to reflect the academic content obtained through military instruction, including, but not limited to, basic training, noncommissioned, and staff noncommissioned officers courses, leadership training classes, international deployments, military language institutes, and the military equal opportunity programs (EOP). For students seeking to enter professional colleges (i.e. Nursing, Engineering, Business), military transfer credits can fulfill many elective requirements. However, if elective requirements are complete, this may limit the options for course selections during your program. This can be an issue for students who need to keep a full-time course load for GI Bill usage. Each student is encouraged to talk with an advisor to learn more about this option.

International/Foreign Post-Secondary Transcripts. We require transcripts from each and every collegiate institution attended during and after graduation from high school.

For all college-level coursework (s) outside the U.S., an official International Transcript Evaluation (course-by-course evaluation) by any NACES or AICE member is required.

If you will be studying at UCCS on an international visa, please direct admissions questions to international@uccs.edu

UCCS has developed a transfer program that allows California Community College students to complete standard Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements, then transfer to UCCS and complete their undergraduate degree program in selected programs in the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences. See the UCCS General IGETC Transfer Guide page for more information about the transfer program and applicable majors.
