Reverse Transfer

Colorado Reverse Transfer Program

You’ve done the work, you deserve the credit! The research is clear: a degree boosts earning potential and career opportunities.

Colorado Reverse Transfer Program is a process that allows students who have transferred from a Colorado community college to MSU Denver to combine credits from both institutions and apply them towards an associate’s degree.

If you are a transfer student, this means you can earn the associate’s degree you started at your community college while still working toward your bachelor’s degree.

Transfer Credit Evaluation & Guidelines

If you have been admitted to MSU Denver, you can find resources to help you navigate the transfer process here.
