Course Transferability:
Course work of comparable content and scope to the UCCS curriculum will generally be transferred if it was completed at colleges or universities accredited by one of the regional higher education accreditation commissions. Only courses that are academic in nature are transferable, career and technical courses are generally not transferable. Additional courses may be considered on a case-by-case basis once the student matriculates to UCCS. Only grades of C- or better are acceptable for transfer to UCCS, but please note that some programs will require higher grades on specific courses for them to apply to the degree program.
