If you are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university, we encourage you to talk with an advisor. ACC offers you many opportunities as you begin your college career.

Your AA or AS Degree may Transfer to all Colorado Public 4-Year Colleges and Universities

Colorado’s agreement among Colorado public colleges and universities guarantees that when you complete your AA or AS degree – at least 60 credit hours of course work carrying a C grade or better in every course–may transfer to Colorado’s public colleges and universities. Provided you complete the appropriate courses for your major, you may be able to complete your baccalaureate degree in an additional 60 credits. However, the transfer of credits from private, non-accredited, or out-of-state institutions or the awarding of credit from non-credit bearing courses, or courses that are over 10 years old, may transfer to the four-year college, but they are not guaranteed to transfer. Contact the 4-year institution for more information.

To finish within two years at the community college and in an additional two years at the four-year institution depends on the number of credits you take each semester, the course sequencing in your major and course availability. This agreement does not apply to Nursing, Business, Teacher Education, or Engineering as all four of these have statewide articulations that have specific lower division requirements.

Save time by seeing an advisor at your earliest opportunity for “transfer guides.” In addition to showing you which lower division courses are required for articulated programs such as Business, these guides will tell you which lower division courses will be best suited for your intended major and you can be sure to complete the prerequisites for sequenced coursework before transferring to a four-year college.

This AA/AS transfer agreement applies to courses completed at any Colorado community college. Credit earned for prior learning, Advanced Placement, correspondence courses, CLEP and other tested-only credit may not apply. The institution to which you transfer will evaluate these credits according to its own policies.
