SUNY Guaranteed Admission
Many of the associate degree programs at SUNY Ulster will lead to SUNY Guaranteed
Admission. An opportunity to continue full-time study at a four-year SUNY college
is guaranteed to all New York State residents who transfer directly from their degree-granting
SUNY or CUNY two-year college with an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree or an Associate
in Science (A.S.) degree. While the guarantee assures that students may pursue their
baccalaureate degrees through the SUNY system, it does not assure admission to a specific
college or curriculum.

SUNY Ulster has numerous articulation agreements, not only with other units of the
SUNY system, but with four-year colleges in a variety of fields. These agreements
