Transfer Equivalency

General Information

Colorado State awards credit in transfer for college-level academic courses completed with a grade of C- or better at an institution accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations.

The official transfer evaluation is completed within 2-4 weeks of admission to Colorado State. Once the official transfer evaluation is complete, the student's Colorado State record reflects credits granted in transfer but not the grades earned at other institutions.

Additional transfer credit may be received from the Advanced Placement (AP) exams (typically scores of 3,4,5); International Baccalaureate (Standard and Higher level, grades four or higher); British A-Level passes, German Abitur and Italian Maturita; and University-level academic work at institutions outside of the United States (bring with you or send in advance any available course descriptions, syllabi, or university/college catalogs that will assist our transfer of credit evaluators in assessing your work for equivalent credit).

U.Select is an online database that lists course equivalencies at all Colorado institutions and a wide range of non-resident colleges/universities for which information is available.
