The Casper College Alumni Association was officially chartered in 1989
with the purpose of promoting community awareness and appreciation for
Casper College.
The association, which is an affiliate of the Casper College Foundation,
joins together a network of former students and friends who share a love of
learning and a deep affection for Casper College.
The Alumni Association also offers scholarships to outstanding incoming

Transfer of Credits
Students who wish to transfer credits earned at Casper College to
four-year colleges and universities will generally have no difficulty doing
so provided that they have satisfactory grades (grades of C or better)
and proper course selection. Casper College courses should be selected
in accordance with the specific requirements of the schools to which a
student plans to transfer.
Each college or university prescribes its own standards, but generally
a student in good standing at one accredited institution can transfer to
another without difficulty. Casper College is accredited by the Higher
Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association,
the highest academic accreditation available in the Rocky Mountain and
Midwest regions and by other special accrediting bodies. (See page 6.)
Students who plan to transfer are strongly urged to consult with their
academic advisors or with transfer counselors in the Student Success
Center, located on the third floor of the Gateway Building.
