Completion of Associate’s Degree. This transfer guide identifies the courses a student needs to complete (with a C- or higher) to earn an AA degree at TSC in order to be able to finish the designated baccalaureate degree in no more than 60 credits. Per Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) Policy I, L, students who complete an AA or AS degree at a Colorado community/junior college and who are admitted to a Colorado public baccalaureate institution are guaranteed the following: the full transfer and application of a minimum of 60 credits toward the baccalaureate degree requirements at the Colorado institution of higher education; completion of the lower-division component of the receiving institution’s general education core curriculum; and junior standing. Course credit may be applied to major, elective or other requirements at the receiving institution’s discretion. If more than 60 college-level credits are taken or the student gets lower than a C- in one or more courses at the community/junior college, then some loss of transfer credit may occur, and students may not be able to complete this baccalaureate degree in 120 credits.
