Do CUNY credits transfer to private colleges?

Has anyone had experience with transferring credits from a CUNY school to a private college? I'm thinking about making this switch and want to know if I'll be able to bring my credits with me.

In terms of credit transfer between CUNY colleges and private colleges, this can depend on the destination college and the exact courses you took at your CUNY school. Each private college has its own policies regarding how they assess and accept transfer credits. However, generally speaking, most colleges accept credits for courses where you earned a grade of 'C' or better, and if the course content is similar to a course offered at the new school.

With that being said, some schools may be more specific about what they'll accept. They might be less likely to take certain types of credits (like those from vocational or technical courses, or non-academic courses) and may place a limit on the number of credits that can be transferred in, particularly from a two-year institution.

I suggest doing a bit of research on your prospective colleges to see their transfer rules. It's also a good idea to reach out directly to the admissions or registrar’s office at the private colleges you're considering. They should be able to give you more detailed information specific to their college's transfer policies.

Always remember, it’s wise to keep syllabi, coursework, and other supporting documentation from your completed courses. They can sometimes help schools evaluate whether to give you credit for a specific course if it's unclear.
