Academic Passport Guidelines

Students who transfer into the State System of Higher Education with an Associate degree in a parallel academic program or as part of the P2P Statewide agreements will be awarded junior standing at CU. Students who meet the established criteria will be awarded Academic Passport, which will guarantee admission as well. However, Academic Passport does not guarantee admission into academic programs that have higher academic admission criteria unless you meet the standards for the program.

A Transfer Credit Evaluation will be sent to each applicant within a week from the time an admission offered has been determined.
