Statewide Guaranteed Transfer Program (gtPathways or GT-Pathways)

The state of Colorado has developed a statewide guaranteed transfer program, which applies to all Colorado public institutions of higher education, including Colorado State University. Statewide there are more than 300 lower-division general education courses in 20 subject areas approved for guaranteed transfer from one public institution of higher education in Colorado to another.

After starting on a higher education pathway at any public college or university in Colorado, and upon acceptance to another, a student may transfer up to 31 credits of successfully (C- or better) completed guaranteed transfer general education coursework. These courses will apply toward the general education core or graduation requirements at Colorado State University. Extended detail may be found on the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CCHE) web site at http://www.state.co.us/cche/academic/transfer/index.html.

Colorado State University's site may also be referenced at Registrar's Office website. Click on the State Guarantee drop down menu under the Transfer Office.
