How is “offering full financial aid consideration” and “full credit for transferable coursework” any different from what Colorado College offered to transfer students before this announcement?
Clever marketing ploy by one of the few colleges with COA over $90k. Maybe it will get them some transfer students.
The implication is that CC typically offers limited funding or more restrictive admission to transfer applicants and that on-campus housing has not been guaranteed to these students. CC’s comment regarding eligibility of courses for transfer credit, while apparently superfluous, may be reassuring to some transfer applicants.
Without defining how “full financial aid consideration” is different from before, that seems to be nice sounding but meaningless promise. Lots of marketing claims appear to promise something by implication, but the implication is not necessarily true.
Colorado college is one of the least economically diverse colleges in the US and its unusual calendar typically means few people consider transferring.
This way they kill 2 birds with one stone.
And not diverse in other areas either. Colorado Springs isn’t exactly a liberal hotbed.
It’s not, of course (though that has shifted a little), but Colorado College is a liberal island in a conservative county.
