International Transfer Credit Evaluations
We offer two types of transfer credit evaluations for international students, both of which are completed after a student has been admitted to 抖阴短视频 Boulder.
- A Full Transfer Credit Evaluation is an in-depth review of all course-work previously completed at recognized colleges and/or universities for applicability toward 抖阴短视频 Boulder degree and graduation requirements. In order to complete a Full Transfer Credit Evaluation for courses taken outside of the United States, we require full and complete official course descriptions of each course taken, which should include each course鈥檚 specific academic content. If these course descriptions are not in English, you must provide a Certified English Translation (see below for details). It is strongly recommended that you submit full and complete course descriptions with all other required application materials. Information submitted should be one PDF format for each course and include your full name.
- If we do not receive full and complete course descriptions, you will receive a Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation. This preliminary evaluation is a general review of how course-work previously completed at recognized colleges and/or universities might transfer to the University of Colorado Boulder. A Preliminary Credit Evaluation will identify those courses that appear to be academic in nature and are transferable, but will likely not provide information on how those courses will count toward degree completion and/or graduation requirements.
A Special Note on Certified English Translations
If a course description is not in English, you will need to get a literal, certified (or official) English translation. It should not be interpretive. A certified (or official) translation will be different depending on what is considered an official translation in your country. In some countries, official translations are only issued by the school. In other countries, official government translators issue official translations. Some countries do not offer translations through a government network, and the student must find a private translation service to issue the translation. We also suggest that you visit or consult with to see if it offers translations, or can refer you to a service.
Students With Disabilities
Once admitted, students who need accommodations from Disability Services can submit documentation of a disability to Disability Services and request an intake with a disability specialist.
