Transcript Requirements

All returning students are required to provide official transcripts* from every institution of higher learning attended after their enrollment at Colorado State University Pueblo. This requirement includes transcripts from unaccredited colleges or universities, transcripts for non-transferable coursework, and transcripts with incomplete or withdrawn grades. The Office of Admissions requires transcripts from any undisclosed institutions that appear on other transcripts provided. Returning students with in-progress grades must provide official final transcripts after course completion. Transcripts are only considered official if issued directly to Colorado State University Pueblo by an institution of higher learning or the custodian of the records for a closed institution.

*For students with non-U.S. transcripts: All international documentation must be translated, certified, and authenticated through an approved credentialing agency. For further information regarding this process, refer to the International Students admissions requirements section of the catalog.
