Transferring Credit into Aims

Undergraduate credit hours awarded within the prior ten years from any regionally accredited higher education institution may be transferred in to an Aims Community College Degree or Certificate program if they apply to the completion of the student's graduation requirements.

Credits older than ten years will also receive careful consideration for transfer. The College reserves the right to examine all credits to determine equivalency of content. Obsolete course content is not considered equivalent. To be eligible for transfer, courses must have been completed with a "C" grade or better at an accredited college or university, or other approved institution.

Students must submit a request for transfer credit evaluation toward a specified certificate or degree program to Admissions and Records.  Transfer credits will be accepted only if they satisfy requirements for the degree or certificate you are seeking.

Steps for obtaining a transfer credit evaluation at Aims:

1. Apply for Admission to Aims and declare a degree.
   
   
2. Complete a Transfer Credit Evaluation form and bring it to the Admissions Office on any campus or mail it to P.O. Box 69, Greeley, CO 80632.
   
   
3. Order an official transcript from your previous college and have it mailed directly to the Admissions and Records Office.  Hand delivered and faxed transcripts will not be accepted as official.
   
   
4. After the transfer evaluation is complete Aims will mail a copy of the evaluation to you.  It is recommended that you then meet with an advisor to discuss your degree path.

Transfer credit evaluation will be completed within thirty (30) calendar days after all documents are received in the Admissions and Records Office. If the evaluation is not completed within this time frame or if the student is not satisfied with the transcript evaluation, the student may appeal the matter through the office of the Registrar.

The decisions regarding course transferability and/or placement made in the initial transcript evaluation will be binding if the student fails to file a written letter of appeal to the Registrar within fifteen (15) calendar days.
