Transfer Credit

Credit-bearing transfer courses (at C level or above) may be accepted from any regionally accredited, candidate, or correspondent institution of higher education or NYS Education Department chartered degree-granting institution.

There shall be no limit on the number of transfer credits accepted. However some programs have special requirements regarding transfer credit. 

Transfer credit may be awarded for course work taken from a foreign institution. The transcript from the foreign institution must be evaluated by an approved agency (World Education Services). 

The foreign institution must be accredited and a grade of C or better must have been achieved for the course work.

Credit for military or other training programs may be earned through any of the following means: military course work, non-collegiate institution sponsored courses/workshops as recommended for credit by the American Council on Education, New York State Education Department (National College Credit Recommendation Service [NCCRS]) or a SUNY CCC associate dean and SUNY CCC approved training programs offered through industry (Articulated Credit).

An applicant who has attended other colleges, post-secondary schools, or the military and wishes to receive transfer credit for work completed must provide the Office of Recruitment and Admissions with an official transcript from each school/organization. There is no fee for this evaluation, though there may be a fee from the organization providing the transcript.
