Transfer Student

Transferring to SUNY Ulster

SUNY Ulster welcomes transfer applicants from other colleges and universities. Just follow the same procedures and requirements as are outlined in Becoming a SUNY Ulster Student. In addition, you will need to have transcripts forwarded to us from any colleges you have attended previously.

Transfer credit will be evaluated upon receipt of all of your transcripts.
You will receive credit for courses that meet the following criteria:

The courses were completed at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution;
The courses were completed with a grade of C- or better;
The courses' content and scope are applicable to the program requirements at SUNY Ulster, and;
The cumulative average of all courses being accepted by SUNY Ulster is a 2.0 or higher.

Additional information the Transfer Student:

The College may approve up to six credit hours of D+, D, or D- work in general electives only.
Grades and quality points for courses transferred from other schools will not appear on the SUNY Ulster transcript, or be part of your SUNY Ulster grade-point average.
Transferring applicants dismissed from, or on academic probation at, their former institutions and who are admitted to SUNY Ulster will enter on academic probation. Students not meeting SUNY Ulster's standards for satisfactory performance may ask the Associate Dean for Student Development for an admissions review.
To earn a degree from SUNY Ulster you must complete at least 30 credit-bearing semester hours at SUNY Ulster. If you want to obtain a one-year diploma you must complete at least 15 semester hours at SUNY Ulster, regardless of the number of semester hours earned elsewhere.
SUNY has implemented an appeal process for transfer students that do not agree with how courses were credited from other SUNY institutions. More information on this process is available at http://www.suny.edu/provost/transfer/studenttransferappeal.cfm
