Elementary Teacher Education Statewide Articulation Agreement includes courses for transfer to UNC and other Colorado universities.

Courses with a 3-character bracketed code (for example, “English Composition I [CO1]”), in which a student earns the final grade of “C” or better are guaranteed to transfer to every public Colorado college or university. 

  • Courses within any Degree with Designation must be completed with a grade of “C” or higher.
  • Courses older than 10 years cannot count towards any Degree with Designation.
  • Course substitutions and/or waivers are not permitted for any Degree with Designation.

NOTE: The following transfer agreement was created prior to the 2010 legislation that changed the definition of a statewide transfer agreement and, therefore, no longer meets the legal definition. The schools that signed on to this agreement will honor it, however. Please check with Aims and the 4-year school you wish to transfer into to ensure you are registering for the appropriate courses.
