I'm interested in transferring from Red Rocks Community College to a four-year university. I've heard about 'transfer promise' programs and wonder if they offer such a pathway to make the process smoother. Anyone have details?
Red Rocks Community College does offer a unique transfer program known as "Guaranteed Transfer" or GT Pathways. This program, managed by the Colorado Department of Higher Education, allows you to seamlessly transfer general education course credits from Red Rocks to any public four-year college or university in Colorado.
While the program isn't a guarantee for admission into these four-year colleges, it does assure that your credits for general education courses won't be wasted and will apply towards your bachelor's degree. You complete your general education courses at Red Rocks and, once transferred, you can focus on your major at your new school.
To benefit from the Guaranteed Transfer Pathways, you'd need to first meet with your academic advisor at Red Rocks to create an educational plan that aligns with your desired major once transferred.
Remember though, courses that are not GT Pathways courses, such as some major-specific courses, may not necessarily transfer smoothly. It's crucial to communicate consistently with both your current advisor at Red Rocks and admissions at your desired four-year school to clarify any uncertainties in the transfer process.
