I took some dual enrollment courses in high school and I'm curious about how Colorado College will evaluate those credits if I transfer. Do they have a policy for accepting these credits, and how can I ensure they transfer successfully?
Colorado College does consider accepting dual enrollment credits as transfer credits. However, not every credit may be accepted since they evaluate on a course-by-course basis. Generally, they will review:
1. The course content compared to the course content at Colorado College.
2. Grade received in the course: most institutions require a grade of C or higher for transfer courses.
3. Level of the course: most colleges, including Colorado College, will only accept college-level coursework.
Please remember that each school has its own policy when it comes to accepting transfer credits. And even though a school generally accepts dual enrollment credits, not all courses may be transferable.
To ensure the maximum amount of your credits transfer:
- Keep all syllabi and course assignments: The transfer institution may ask to review these to decide whether to award credit for a particular course.
- Reach out to the Office of the Registrar or admissions at Colorado College with specific details about your dual enrollment courses. They can guide you on any additional process or paperwork needed.
A key to a smooth transfer process is communication with the institutions involved. Connect with representatives from both your current and transfer institutions (if already decided) to ensure you understand the requirements, timelines, and any other essential details.
