Does anyone know the Farmingdale State College transfer credit policy?

Hi! I'm planning my transfer to Farmingdale State College and want to make sure my credits will transfer. Does anyone know how their credit equivalencies work or if there's a specific tool or service to check this?

Farmingdale State College generally accepts credits from other accredited colleges and universities, as long as the grades you earned are a C or higher. However, it's integral to note that the requirements may differ depending on your intended major.

Unfortunately, Farmingdale State does not mention having a specific tool online to check transfer credits. Many schools offer such tools, but not all, and unfortunately Farmingdale isn't one of them.

A detailed evaluation of credits will be carried out once you submit your application and your official transcripts. Once you're accepted, they'll provide a Transfer Credit Evaluation which will detail the credits they've accepted for transfer.

Though it isn't as convenient as having an automated tool you can use before applying, talking directly with an admissions representative or a counselor at Farmingdale State College could also give you insight into how your specific credits might transfer. They will be able to give you information on how they typically articulate certain credits from your current institution.

Remember to keep in mind that successful transfer of credits is not solely the acceptance of the credits but ensuring they apply to the specific degree program requirements you will be pursuing at Farmingdale State College. So while you may have an abundance of credits transferred, they might not necessarily expedite your path to graduation if they don't fulfill the requirements of your chosen degree program.

In short, you won't have an absolutely definite answer until you go through the application process, but speaking with a Farmingdale admissions rep could give you a more informed idea of what to expect.
