How to Apply

Transfer Students


We are excited that you are considering applying to UCCS! As you prepare your application, we know that there is a lot to keep in mind - from deadlines, to standardized tests, to understanding what we're looking for from our applicants. You'll find the answers to the most common questions here, but know that the entire Admissions team is ready to help. If you have questions along the way, make sure to connect with us.


A transfer student is one who has taken college course work after high school graduation and can be reviewed in 1 of 2 ways:

·13 or more college credits and with review of high school transcript/GED submission

or
·30 or more college credits without submission of high school transcript/GED  

Once a student is admitted, an official transfer credit evaluation will be completed and the student will be able to access their Degree Audit Report in the MyUCCS portal.  To learn about transfer credits, please visit our Transfer information page at www.uccs.edu/transfer and explore more with Transferology.
