Do CUNY credits transfer to Manhattan College?

I'm a student at a CUNY school and looking into transferring to Manhattan College. Do the credits I've earned at CUNY easily transfer over to Manhattan College, or is there something specific I should be aware of?

Transferring credits from one institution to another can certainly be an important part of the student transfer process. Generally, many colleges and universities, including Manhattan College, will accept credits from regionally accredited institutions, which include the CUNY schools. However, acceptance can depend on a variety of factors such as the relevancy of courses to your intended major, and whether classes taken are equivalent to what is offered at Manhattan College.

You should reach out directly to Manhattan College's transfer admissions department or a transfer advisor, as they can provide the most detailed and precise information. In addition to this, most schools have what's called a transfer credit evaluator or a transfer equivalency database available online, which allows you to see how credits from your current school may be recognized.

Keep in mind, that some credits may transfer as elective credits rather than directly equivalent courses. This is common for specialized courses that don't have an exact match at the receiving institution. Lastly, be prepared that the grades you received at your current institution usually don't transfer—the credits do, but your GPA sort of restarts at your new institution.

It can be helpful to maintain a strong academic record and provide syllabi for completed courses when requested. Having a record of the material covered can often assist in the determination of credit transferability.
