Transfer Students

Students who have attended other colleges following high school graduation, either full- or part-time, are classified as transfer students and may receive advanced standing. In addition to completing the SUNY application and providing an official high school transcript, transfer students must submit official transcripts from all institutions. These transcripts should be sent to the Alfred State College Admissions Office at the time of application. It is recommended that students who have completed college-level course work during high school submit official college transcripts so that appropriate transfer credit may be awarded.

Parallel and equivalent courses will be reviewed and transferred in accordance with academic regulation 305. Only credit hours and honor points earned at this college will be considered when computing a student's index.

Transfer Credit

The transfer credit procedure is initiated in the Student Records and Financial Services Office under the coordination of the Transfer Advisor. Courses completed at an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education and that can be applied toward graduation requirements at Alfred State will be reviewed for transfer approval by the department chair in which the course resides. Students are notified of their approved transfer credit through their Alfred State email account once they have been accepted for admission and an official college transcript is reviewed. More information on transfer credit is available at AlfredState.edu/transfer-students/transfer-credit.

Transfer Agreements

Agreements have been established between Alfred State College and two-year colleges, which permit a student to complete an associate degree at the two-year college and transfer to Alfred State College to complete a baccalaureate degree. Transfer is guaranteed if the student successfully completes, in accordance with the specific articulation agreement, the prescribed schedule of courses. Any questions regarding transfer of courses should be directed to the transfer adviser within the Student Records and Financial Services Office at Alfred State College. The student must provide an official transcript from the two-year college to Alfred State.
