Planning Ahead

Planning ahead while being enrolled at Pikes Peak Community College will help make the transfer process go more smoothly. You should consult with faculty advisors frequently to determine which programs or courses will best suit your goals.

 

After a degree audit or an evaluation of credit is completed, it may be possible to revise your program at Pikes Peak Community College to make up deficiencies or complete additional course requirements, if necessary. Pikes Peak Community College is accredited, and credits earned here are readily transferable to four-year colleges and universities with the exceptions of:

  1. "D" grades and below will not be accepted by four-year colleges and universities.
  2. credit for non-college level developmental or remedial courses is not transferable.
  3. some colleges request placement or competency entrance examinations at or before registration to determine the exact level of achievement in certain areas. Course placement may depend on the results of these examinations.
  4. career and technical courework that has not been approved for transfer to four-year schools.

 

The sooner you decide on a major at the four-year college you want to attend, the easier it will be to plan a program at Pikes Peak Community College. You should not wait until your last semester at Pikes Peak Community College to make decisions. In some cases, four-year colleges and universities ask that you  “register” with them as potential transfers. After registration, and upon completion of requirements, students who have registered for some transfer programs will then qualify for scholarship programs, waiver of application fees, etc.
