Transferring from Colorado Schools
Western participates in Colorado’s Pathways Program.

For more info about the gtPathways Program, visit highered.colorado.gov.
Western has also developed transfer guides, available on request, which can help guide course selection at Colorado community colleges.
Credit for Military Service
Military service credit is evaluated when official copies of transcripts for military schools are received. Army, Navy and Marine personnel submit a Joint Service Transcript (JST). Air Force personnel submit a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Transcript. Courses are evaluated according to the American Council on Education (ACE) Guidelines. A maximum of 25 semester hours of credit is counted toward a baccalaureate degree.
