Transfer Credit Information for Current Business Students

Business students desiring to apply coursework from another institution or University of Colorado campus toward the B.S. degree in business administration must have prior approval of the Leeds School of Business. You should get any credit you wish to take at another school pre-approved following the procedures below!

• The school reserves the right to disallow any credit that it deems inappropriate degree credit.

• Credits in business subjects transferred from other institutions will be limited to
  the number of credit hours given for equivalent work in the regular offerings of the university.

• Only work from regionally accredited institutions will transfer to the school.

• Only courses that fulfill non-business requirements or business elective credits are acceptable in transfer from other institutions once the student has enrolled in Leeds school. All remaining BCOR courses and all courses in the area of emphasis must be taken at the University of Colorado at Boulder .

• A maximum of 60 semester hours of credit may be accepted from a two-year school.
  
• Actual equivalent courses may be substituted for some required courses. Students must submit a carefully checked catalog description and course syllabus for course equivalency determination since a course given at another institution may have the same name and same textbook as a required business course and still be taught with a non-business emphasis or other variations that give it little value for business.

• Transfer and IUT students must take a minimum of 30 hours of business courses, including the area of emphasis, in residence after admission to the Leeds school.
  
• For more information on transfer credit policies and concurrent enrollment policies, please see the Leeds Business section of the Undergraduate Catalog.
