Statewide Guaranteed Transfer Courses

Colorado has identified courses that are guaranteed to transfer to any public institution of higher education in Colorado.  Courses approved for statewide guaranteed transfer are noted in the course description.

gtPathways is a set of general education courses that the state guarantees to transfer. Receiving institutions shall apply guaranteed general education courses to a student’s general education or major requirements. Approved courses in gtPathways are not based on course equivalencies but meet content and competency criteria.  gtPathways applies to all Colorado public colleges and universities. Up to 31 credits of previously and successfully (C or better) completed gtPathways coursework can transfer to any other Colorado public college or university. These courses will automatically transfer with you and continue to count toward your general education core or graduation requirements for any liberal arts or science, associate’s or bachelor’s degree. You should check with the school you wish to attend so you are clear about which credits will transfer beyond any that are guaranteed by gtPathways
