Transfer policies and programs

Different transfer rules may apply depending on where you completed your previous coursework or degree. Explore Colorado transfer agreements, associate degree policies, and Reverse Transfer options that may affect how your credits transfer to FLC.

Associate degrees from outside Colorado

If you earned an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from an institution outside Colorado, the Registrar’s Office will typically evaluate your transfer credits course by course.

Some institutions qualify for a blanket exception. If you earned an AA or AS degree from an institution on the blanket exception list, your FLC Liberal Arts Core requirements are waived.

If your institution is not on the blanket exception list, the Registrar’s Office may review its general education requirements to determine whether they are similar in structure and scope to Colorado’s GT Pathways requirements. You’ll still need to complete prerequisites and requirements for your FLC degree.
Bridge to Bachelor's

Bridge to Bachelor's helps eligible students begin an associate degree at a Colorado Community College System institution with a plan to continue toward a bachelor's degree at Fort Lewis College.

Participants may receive:

  • Personalized transfer planning and advising
  • Guidance for selecting transferable coursework
  • An FLC application fee waiver when eligible
  • Scholarship opportunities
  • A coordinated pathway from community college to FLC

Who is eligible?

Students beginning an associate degree at a Colorado Community College System institution may be eligible to participate. Contact your community college advisor to learn more.
Colorado statewide transfer agreements

Colorado’s statewide transfer system helps students move eligible coursework between public colleges and universities.

GT Pathways courses are designed to transfer as general education credit among Colorado public institutions when those requirements are part of the receiving degree. Statewide Transfer Articulation Agreements create defined pathways from certain Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees into related bachelor’s degree programs.

Students who complete an eligible AA or AS Degree with Designation may transfer with junior standing and complete the related bachelor’s degree in about 60 additional credits, depending on the program. The degree itself does not guarantee admission to a four-year institution or a specific academic program.
Reverse Transfer

If you transferred to FLC from a Colorado community college before completing your associate degree, you may be able to combine credits from both schools to earn your associate degree while continuing toward your bachelor’s degree. Participating in Reverse Transfer does not affect your FLC academic standing or financial aid.

You may be eligible if you:

  • Completed at least 15 credits at a Colorado community college.
  • Have at least 70 total college credits, including coursework completed at FLC.
  • Transferred to FLC in Summer 2012 or later.
  • Have enough applicable credits to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of General Studies, as determined by a degree audit.
  • Have not requested that your student information be withheld.
  • Have not already earned an associate's or bachelor’s degree.

If you’re no longer enrolled at FLC but attended within the past two years, you may still be eligible.

How it works

If you’re eligible, we’ll email you each March with instructions on how to participate. If you attended other colleges or universities, you’ll need to send official transcripts to your community college so those credits can also be considered toward your associate degree.

Transfer credits and Liberal Arts Core requirements

Why transfer credits may show as zero credits

If your Academic Progress Report shows a zero-credit Liberal Arts Core entry for transferred coursework, you have not lost the credits you earned.

Workday may show two entries for the same transferred course: a credit-bearing TXX course that carries the credits you earned and a zero-credit GS (General Studies) course that shows how the transferred coursework fulfills a Liberal Arts Core requirement.

View your transfer credits in Workday

  • Select your profile icon in the upper-right corner of Workday, then select View Profile.
  • Select Academics from the profile navigation.
  • Select the Transfer Credits tab.
  • Select the Originating Coursework column heading to sort the list in ascending order.
  • Find the zero-credit LAC attribute course. It should appear as a GS (General Studies) course. This is the course that fulfills the requirement on your Academic Progress Report.
  • Find the related TXX course directly above the GS course. The TXX course shows the credits you earned.
  • Confirm that the GS and TXX courses list the same class from your previous institution under Originating Coursework. This shows that both entries are connected to the same transfer course.
View transfer credits and external records

You can view transferred coursework and other external records in your Workday profile.

  1. Select your profile icon in the upper-right corner of Workday, then select View Profile.
  2. Select Academics.
  3. Select the External Records tab.
  4. Review your transfer credits, standardized test scores, and math and composition placement information.
Study abroad transfer evaluation

Use the Study Abroad Transfer Equivalency Inquiry to find out how coursework completed through a study abroad program may transfer to FLC.
Pass/No Pass transfer credits

For transferable coursework completed from Spring 2020 through Fall 2021, FLC accepts a P grade when the institution that issued the grade defines it as equivalent to a C- or higher.
Appeal a transfer credit evaluation

If you disagree with FLC’s initial decision about whether a course transfers or how it was evaluated, you can appeal the decision.
