How can the UCCS Transfer Team Fuel Your Success?
Will my Credits Transfer?
Whether you are coming from an online school, community college or four-year university, we perform unofficial transfer evaluations to help you understand which of your credits may transfer. We also offer resources to further develop a picture of your ideal transfer.
How long will it take to become a transfer student?
There are many important deadlines when it comes to transferring. Build your own timeline toward success by looking at these important application dates, which include when to apply for a transfer, the deadlines for scholarships and FAFSA submissions, plus when to register for orientation. It all starts with your application. Prospective students can apply as much as a year before starting at UCCS.
How much will my education cost?
We are just one of many universities in Colorado, but we continually offer lower tuition rates than our fellow institutions. We believe everyone deserves to afford a quality, competitive education. As a transfer student, you may already be familiar with funding your education. But the Transfer team is here to help you obtain loans, scholarships, grants, work-study opportunities, and even employment.
