Enrollment Steps - Transfer Students

Aims transfer students speaking with transfer coach on transitions day

You are a transfer student if you have credits from another institution that you wish to transfer to Aims. 

How to Enroll as a Transfer Student at Aims

Step 1: Activate Your Aims Account

Watch your email for instructions to activate your Okta account (email will come from okta-noreply@aims.edu). It will be sent to the personal email account you used to apply to Aims. Okta is a one-stop shop for all the software applications (Okta tiles) you may use at Aims.

Two Okta tiles that you’ll need to know about right away are Google Workspace Mail (your Aims email) and Workday.

You must activate your account within 48 hours of receiving the email. If you miss this 48-hour window, please call our Help Desk at (970) 339-6380.

Step 2: Send an Official Transcript to the Registration & Records Office for Evaluation

To have your college credit transferred from another institution, please send your official transcript to the address listed below as soon as possible. The sooner your transcripts are received, the sooner they can be evaluated for progress toward your degree. Meeting with your advisor to select classes at Aims will be most helpful after you have sent your official transcript to Registration and Records.

transfer@aims.edu

or

Registration & Records Office
Welcome Center
4901 W. 20th St.
Greeley, CO 80634

Note: a transcript is only considered official if it is sent directly to Aims from your previous college (electronically) or arrives in a sealed envelope (physical mail). Transcripts that have been opened before delivery to Aims and electronic transcripts that are sent to the student first and then forwarded to Aims will both be considered unofficial.
