TRANSFER OF COLLEGE ACADEMIC CREDITGeneral InformationThe SUNY Geneseo Transfer Course Equivalency databank has been designed to show you how credit from other colleges will transfer to Geneseo. Course equivalencies are subject to review and change by department. You will be held accountable to all academic policies in effect at the time of transfer. Whether you are thinking about applying, have already been accepted, or are a current Geneseo student thinking about taking summer or winter courses elsewhere, this databank will make the transfer process easier for you.
Must submit a course approval form only if: 1) the course is listed in the databank and is within your major, minor or concentration. Must receive approval from the major, minor or concentration department. Be advised that the department limits what is transfer equivalent and how many transfer credits can be accepted towards the major, minor, and/or concentration OR 2) courses are not listed in the databank. They may still be awarded transfer credit but require a course description or syllabus to be attached to the Course Approval Form.Submit the course approval form to the Office of the Dean of Curriculum and Academic Services in Erwin 106.

PROSPECTIVE TRANSFER STUDENTS: Courses are accepted for transfer credit provided that a grade of C- or higher was achieved and the individual course is parallel to a course offered at SUNY Geneseo. A miximum of 60 transfer credits from two-year colleges, 90 from four-year colleges or a combination of college credit, may be applied toward the baccalaureate degree requirements. An estimate of the total number of credits accepted for transfer will be made after admission is granted. When the student registers for the first time, he or she will be provided with a tentative evaluation of course credits and degree progress. The tentative evaluation is subject to final approval and modification following the initial advisement and registration session. This session occurs during the Transfer Orientation Sessions and a review of the evaluation of course work is offered. All transfer students are strongly urged to attend Transfer Orientation. The prospective transfer student should examine closely those sections of the Undergraduate Bulletin which deal with major and minor requirements, General Education requirements, and the writing requirement.
