Transferring Credit to UNC
Welcome to the Transfer Information page at UNC! Here, you can learn how your previous college credits might transfer to UNC and what policies apply. You will find helpful tools like Transferology to check which courses will count toward your degree. You can also learn about agreements between Colorado colleges that make transferring easier. If you have taken exams like AP, IB, or CLEP, you can see how those scores could give you college credit. Plus, if you transferred from a Colorado community college, you can learn about “reverse transfer” to earn an associate’s degree along the way. This page has everything you need to understand transferring credits and making your path to graduation smoother.
The University of Northern Colorado may grant academic credit for courses completed at another institution.
Official transcripts can be sent to UNC anytime for consideration. We follow guidelines established by the academic departments to award transfer credit.
