Advice on Transferring to Lehman College

I'm currently at another CUNY school but considering transferring to Lehman College. What should I keep in mind during this process, and how does the credit transfer work? Any advice would be helpful!

The process of transferring to a different college within the same university system, in this case, the CUNY system, is often more simplified compared to transferring between unaffiliated universities. Lehman College, like other CUNY schools, will generally accept credits from classes in which you've earned a grade of C- or above. However, how these credits apply toward your intended major at Lehman could differ, so it's important to contact the registrar's office or a department advisor at Lehman to help discern this.

Transferring credits is one aspect, but it’s also important to understand how your intended major requirements or specializations might vary between schools. It's worthwhile checking Lehman’s program's requirements and seeing how they align with the courses you've completed so far.

Make sure to check application deadlines and procedures at Lehman. Each school can have different deadlines and processes even if they're within the same university system. Typically, there's an application that you have to submit, along with official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions you've attended, and possibly other requirements.

Make the most of the resources available to you. Speak to your current academic advisor about your intention of transferring, they can provide you with valuable insights, navigate potential challenges, and guide you through the process.

Given the fact you’re in the same system, transferring within CUNY might offer a more seamless transition, but still take your time to confirm you’re making the right decision. Research Lehman's campus culture, academic offerings, extracurricular opportunities, and support services to make sure it's a good fit for your academic and personal goals.
