Taking Courses at Another Institution While Students are Enrolled at CSU 

Enrolled students who wish to take undergraduate courses at another institution to transfer to Colorado State University should first determine how the courses will be accepted in transfer. To do so the student will need to access u.select, for more information about u.select please see the “u.select” section under the Transfer Evaluation section.

If u.select does not have the desired institution or course listed, or shows a different equivalent that what is desired by the student, the student will need to take the Transfer Course Equivalency Pre-Approval Form to the academic department which teaches the course they wish to receive credit for. The appropriate academic department must determine if the course(s) can be accepted as the desired equivalent. If the department approves the student’s request the signed form must be returned to the Registrar’s Office prior to the course being transferred to CSU.

Students wishing to take courses at an international institution will need to have the Registrar’s Office evaluate the courses to determine how they will be accepted in transfer. To do so the student will need supply the Registrar’s Office with an English copy of the course description and/or syllabus of each course they wish to take by email at registrarsoffice@colostate.edu, by fax at (970)491-2283, or in person in Centennial Hall.

Students are responsible for insuring an official transcript will be sent to the Registrar’s Office after the completion of the off-campus course work. No credit will be evaluated until an official transcript has been received. Pleas see the “Contact CSU” link below for the appropriate mailing address.
