Where can I get more information on the different degrees and majors?
Check out the Academic Program Requirements. Each area has an overview that tells more about each major.
Why do I have to choose a degree and major?
After you enter your transfer classes and view the transfer equivalents (steps 2 and 3), the next screen (step 4) will show how each transferred class counts toward your selected major. If you are undecided, there is no harm in choosing a random major. This information is not shared with your admissions application. The goal is to let you explore options before officially applying or taking a course.
Why does elementary education and music have the option to add a track?
Those degrees have additional options. It used in the degree audit report shown in step 4 in TESS.
The term I plan to enroll isn't on drop down option list?
This means you are planning to start more than one year from now. Just choose the latest option possible. This information is not used in the application process.

If other errors shows, email the Transfer Evaluator with your questions.
Course Equivalencies

Reading the Transfer Degree Audit
Courses that had a green arrow on Step 3 will show on this report. The degree requirements are listed by category. Scroll down the degree audit. Your transferable classes will be listed in the places that the classes fit. A green check box indicates the transfer class satisfies a specific degree requirement. Some classes may count as options in a longer list. All non-specified classes will be in the Electives Category at the bottom of the report. Keep in mind that this is an unofficial evaluation. When you transfer, all transfer work will be formally evaluated and your official degree audit will be adjusted.
Who do I talk to for help reading the audit?
Students who have not attended Colorado Mesa University are encouraged to work with the Admission's Transfer Counselor. Students returning to CMU should work with the Registrar's Office. Currently enrolled CMU students should work with their advisor.
