Can Credits from Front Range Community College Transfer to Arizona Schools?

I'm considering starting at Front Range Community College and then transferring to a school in Arizona. Does anyone know how the credit transfer process works between FRCC and Arizona universities?

Most institutions have individual agreements with other schools about which courses they are willing to accept for credit transfer. That being said, the process typically involves having your transcripts from Front Range Community College sent over to the Arizona school you're interested in transferring to. The admissions office at that school will then evaluate how many of the credits you've earned at FRCC will count towards your intended major and/or degree plan.

To make sure you're taking courses that will transfer, you'll want to start by looking at the transfer guides and articulation agreements for the Arizona schools you're interested in. These documents give you an idea of which courses and credits will transfer directly between the two institutions.

If the information is not clear cut or you simply want more direct assistance, you should get in touch both with the FRCC Transfer Services and the admissions office of the Arizona school. They should be able to give you precise guidance based on current agreements and student data.

In the meantime, try to stick to general education classes and fundamental classes for your major, as these are more likely to transfer. For example, a general Chemistry class or English Composition class would be more likely to transfer than a specialized course focused on a niche topic.

Keep in mind that just because a credit transfers, doesn’t mean it will be valuable towards your specific degree plan. Do your research and connect with academic advisors to ensure you're making the right decisions.
