Treatment of Associate's Degrees as Admission Criteria: Students who earn an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree will be recognized as having satisfied the first two years of coursework associated with Regis baccalaureate degree programs and will be recognized as having achieved junior status. The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees are those awards that recognize at least two years but less than fours years of full-time equivalent college-level work. These degrees are general in nature and are not directed to a specific career or technical area.

Students graduating from COD and transferring to Regis as participants in the Associate's to Bachelor's Program are guaranteed the following:

1. Admission to the Undergraduate SPS at Regis (because of program capacity and specialized entry requirements, there are no guarantees of admission to specific Regis Undergraduate degree programs or certificate programs.)

2. Acceptance of credit earned at COD in all programs, including credit by testing and other non traditional mechanisms such as Advanced Placement (AP), American Council of Education (ACE) credits, Dual Enrollment, Early Admissions, and International Baccalaureate.

3. No additional General Education Core requirements, if Regis requirements have been met with COD programs.

4. Acceptance of all grade forgiveness policies of COD

In order to complete the baccalaureate program in a timely manner, students are advised to follow the transfer guide for the academic program they plan to pursue at Regis. If the student intends to change degree focus upon admission to Regis, the student may be required to complete lower division preparation work prior to beginning the program at Regis.

COD students enrolling at Regis through the Associate's to Bachelor's Program will go through Regis' transfer process and therefore must meet all applicable requirements and deadlines pertaining to application for admission, orientation and registration, and payment of tuition and fees. They will abide by the policies and procedures, along with any revisions thereof that apply to all students.

Treatment of COD Coursework for Students without an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Sciences Degree: COD students transferring without an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Sciences degree (this would include students that have earned Associate of Applied Science Degrees, Certificates, and/or Diplomas), will have all COD courses, numbered 1000 and above and with a grade of "C- or better", accepted for transfer.

Twenty four semester hours of skill-based technical course work may be used to satisfy general elective requirements in the Undergraduate degree programs of the SPS. The designation (TOS) is used when recording this credit.
