Can someone outline the transfer requirements for CUNY Queens College? Are there specific credits or other prerequisites I need to have completed before applying?
To transfer to CUNY Queens College, there are a set of academic criteria you must meet.
First, you should have completed at least 24 college credits at a regionally accredited college or university. If you have fewer than this, you'd have to apply using your high school record (including your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores). If you're in this situation, remember that your admission will rely heavily on your high school performance.
The college looks for a minimum GPA of 2.75 for students with 1-29 credits and a minimum GPA of 2.5 for students with 30+ credits. However, certain programs have different minimum GPA requirements and some are more competitive.
Additionally, you must be in good academic standing at your current institution, meaning you're not on probation or suspended.
Like most colleges, Queens College will want to see your transcripts from all previous post-secondary institutions you've attended. This is so they can evaluate your past academic performance, and also determine which of your credits will transfer over.
Speaking of transfer credits, Queens College accepts up to 75 transfer credits from four-year colleges. However, they reserve the right to accept or deny credits at their discretion.
Finally, while not all programs at Queens College require it, some majors may have additional requirements such as an audition (for certain music programs) or a portfolio (for certain art programs).
Hope this helps! It's a good idea to reach out to the admissions office if you have specific questions about your situation.
