* The specific schools involved: Each CUNY school has its own transfer credit policy and articulation agreements with other CUNY schools. Some schools might have more established agreements or easier pathways than others.
* The courses themselves: The courses you've taken must be equivalent to courses offered at the receiving CUNY school. A course's content, credits, and grading system will all be considered. A course might be accepted, partially accepted, or rejected entirely.
* Your academic standing: Your GPA at the transferring institution may influence whether your credits are accepted.
* The program you're applying to: The specific requirements of your intended major or program will determine which credits are needed and which can be transferred.
To determine if and how your credits will transfer, you must:
1. Contact the registrar's office of the CUNY school you want to transfer to. They're the primary source of information on transfer credit policies and procedures.
2. Submit an official transcript from your current CUNY school.
3. Request a transfer credit evaluation. This is a formal process where the receiving school assesses the transferability of your credits. This usually takes time, so start this process well in advance of your intended transfer date.
In short, while credit transfer *is* possible within the CUNY system, it's crucial to proactively contact the receiving school's registrar to understand the specifics of their policy and to initiate the transfer credit evaluation process.
