Q: I have completed several courses at a college or university other than CU.  I am interested in transferring to CU Boulder and studying Chemical and Biological Engineering.  Will these credits transfer and, if so, how will I know what courses they are equivalent to?

A: Yes, it is likely that your courses will transfer, depending upon the nature of and your grade in the course.  Initially, you should contact the Office of Admissions if you are thinking of transferring.  They can do a basic run-down/comparison on your courses to see what CU Boulder courses they are equivalent to.  Transfer criteria and instructions for students transferring from in-state 2-year institutions, in-state 4-year institutions, out-of-state institutions, and international colleges and universities can be found at the following website: http://www.colorado.edu/prospective/transfer/admission/index.html.

If you have completed specialized courses in chemical and biological engineering, it is likely that the Office of Admissions will be unable to evaluate these courses.  In these cases, the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has two Transfer Credit Evaluators to evaluate specific engineering courses: Dr. David Clough (David.Clough@Colorado.EDU) and Dr. Robert Sani (Robert.Sani@Colorado.EDU).
