Understanding Guaranteed Transfer Courses at Front Range Community College

I've heard that some courses at FRCC are guaranteed to transfer to certain universities. Can someone explain how these guaranteed transfer courses work and which schools accept them?

Certainly! "Guaranteed Transfer" (GT) courses are general education classes that Front Range Community College (FRCC) guarantees will transfer and apply to graduation requirements at Colorado public colleges with a corresponding program.

This means that as long as you pass the course with a grade of "C" or higher, it will transfer to any public four-year institution within Colorado. It's important to note that while the credits will transfer, the grades you earned in these courses may not factor into your GPA at your new institution, depending on their policies.

The courses that fall under the GT designation are organized into various categories, such as "Written Communication," "Mathematics," "Natural and Physical Sciences," etc.

The colleges and universities in Colorado that accept these credits include institutions like the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the Metropolitan State University of Denver, to name a few.

Keep in mind that if you’re planning to transfer to a private college/university or a school out-of-state, you’ll want to communicate directly with your prospective school’s admissions office to see how your credits might transfer.

As always, be sure to work with an academic advisor at FRCC to make sure you're taking the courses that will best fit your educational and transfer goals. They can guide you through the process and make sure you're on track.
