Transfer Services
Our office helps you learn about transfer options and supports you as you develop your transfer plan. The process is not as complicated as you think and we’ve outlined the steps for you.
We suggest you start planning during your first semester at CCD. Our purpose is to increase the total number of students completing an associate degree and obtaining a bachelor’s degree. We offer many services to help you transfer to a two- or four-year college — from what courses to take, to finding and visiting your top choice schools, to filling out the right paperwork. We’re here to help.

Degrees with Designation (DWD)
Degrees with Designation are offered across Colorado to ensure credit protection of the 60 credits included in most associate degrees.

When you’re ready to begin the process of transferring to a four-year college or university, there are many options available. You can attend in-state, out-of-state, or enroll in online courses. Some options are listed, but remember there are more options available. Contact our office if you don’t see what you want.
Plan early and make sure your transfer school of choice has out-of-state scholarships for transfer students to help pay out-of-state tuition and fees. Contact us and we can help you locate the right fit for you. Here are some resources to get you started.
