Request Information
Ready to find out what ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï can do for you? We’ve got you covered.
ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï supports the Guaranteed Transfer (GT) Pathways program for students who transfer courses between public colleges and universities in Colorado. This means that students who transfer a GT Pathways course to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï not only receive transfer credit at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï, but they can apply that course toward an unmet ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï General Studies requirement. Students who take a GT Pathways-approved course at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï can apply that toward a general education requirement if they transfer to a Colorado public college or university.
Students who complete an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) Degree or degree with designation at a Colorado community college will have any remaining ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï General Studies requirements waived. Colorado transfer students may complete the Colorado General Education Foundational Skills credential, but those students still need to complete ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï General Studies requirements below. Visit the Ìý·É±ð²ú²õ¾±³Ù±ð for more information.
Note that out-of-state courses may transfer to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï, but they are not automatically covered under the GT Pathways framework. See a Professional Advisor for transfer course review. To schedule an appointment, please visit the . The most reliable method is to have an official transcript sent directly to the Registrar’s Office.
The GT Pathways program does differ in notable ways from the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï General Studies program. Here is Alignment Map between GT Pathways and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï General Studies. More information about each program can also be found with the links below.
