Bill	Enforcement Statewide Degree Transfer Agreements	If an institution of higher education admits as a junior a transfer student who holds an associate of arts degree, associate of applied science degree, or an associate of science degree that is the subject of a statewide degree transfer agreement, the institution shall not require the student to complete any additional courses to fulfill general education requirements.

If the institution requires the student to complete additional courses for the baccalaureate degree other than those authorized in the bill, the institution is responsible for the total cost of tuition for any required credit hours that exceed the total credit hours required for students who started the degree program at the institution or that extend the total time to complete the degree.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2018A	SB 18-069	Colorado SB 18-069 (2018A)	bill		enacted	Alec Garnett Chris Holbert Jon Becker Rachel Zenzinger	10	16	4	2018-01-12T07:00:00+00:00	2018-03-22T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/a9977af7-15f4-4449-8036-cb389a4dff8c	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb18-069	6a98f01cf306d8ff8193b34e89231dbf4d61692f4d946de3b4777afff09883af	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co
