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 a 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. Submit a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form to Admissions.
   • Or, login to your student account and follow these steps to submit the form electronically:
     • Click on the "Student Tab”
     • Under "Academic Resources, click on "Online Transfer Credit Evaluation Request”
     •  Fill out the request and click "Submit”
3. Order Official transcripts from all previously attended institutions and have them mailed to Aims.
   
   Our address for mailing is:
   PO Box 69
   Greeley, CO 80632
   
   Although we prefer a mailed transcript, we will accept a hand-carried official transcript only if it is sealed and signed by a college official. Unofficial and opened Official transcripts will not be evaluated.
   
   
4. All documents (transfer credit evaluation request and all transcripts listed on request) must be received in order to begin the transfer evaluation. Within thirty (30) working days, after the receipt of all documents, the completed transfer credit evaluation will be emailed to the student’s Aims email account.
   
   
   • Completed transfer evaluations do not include in-progress or previously completed Aims course work. If you have questions about the applicability of previously completed or in-progress Aims course work please contact your advisor.
     
     
   • The decisions regarding course transferability 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 of the original emailed completed transfer evaluation.
