What's the process for transferring to Kingsborough Community College?

I'm considering transferring to Kingsborough Community College, but I'm not sure about the process. Can someone guide me on the steps involved and what materials I need to prepare?

Sure, here's an overview of the process to transfer to Kingsborough Community College:

1. Submit the CUNY application: As Kingsborough is part of the CUNY (City University of New York) system, you need to submit your application through the CUNY application portal. Be sure to select "transfer student" when prompted.

2. Submit your transcripts: You'll need to submit official transcripts from all colleges you've attended - even if you didn't receive credit from one of them. If you have less than 24 credits earned, you may need to submit your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores, if they were taken.

3. Apply for financial aid: Make sure to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to see if you qualify for any financial aid. Don't forget to add Kingsborough Community College's school code to your FAFSA.

4. Be Patient: Once you've submitted all required documents, your application will be reviewed by the Kingsborough admissions committee. Timing can vary, but you're typically notified of a decision within a few weeks.

5. Review Transfer Credits: Once you've been accepted, you will need to meet with a Kingsborough academic advisor to review and discuss how your credits will be transferred. The college generally accepts up to 30 credits of transferable coursework, but it can vary depending on the specific program you are entering.

6. Attend Orientation: Finally, once you're accepted and registered, you should attend an orientation session where you can get a feel for the campus and learn more about its resources.

Remember, every transfer situation is unique so it's best to get in contact with the Admissions Office at Kingsborough to confirm all steps and materials required for your specific situation. Good luck!
