Transferring from the
Colorado Community College System
CSU has signed statewide community college transfer agreements with the Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Colorado Community College System (CCCS).
The agreement streamlines the transfer process for students who wish to complete their lower division coursework at one of 13 community colleges within the Colorado Community College System.
This guaranteed credit transfer means students can rest assured that they’ll be on track toward their bachelor’s degree as soon as they arrive.
Please contact an advisor from the department you wish to transfer to in the majors list below.
Internal Transfers and
Change of Majors
You are considered an internal transfer student if you already are a student at CSU and would like to transfer to the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, or if you are an Exploratory Studies- Engineering Interest student.
