Lehman College transfer admissions process from a university

I'm thinking about transferring to Lehman College from my current university. Can someone explain the admissions process for transfer students? Are there different requirements compared to first-year applicants?

Certainly, the Lehman College transfer process follows several steps and indeed, there are some distinct requirements for transfer students compared to first-year applicants.

The first step for you is to complete the online application through the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Ensure that you select 'Transfer Student' as your application type. The application will require you to provide personal and academic information about your education history.

Next, ensure that you submit your transcript from your current college and any other colleges or universities you have attended. Lehman College will need these to evaluate your transferable credits. They usually require that you have a minimum GPA of 2.0, although certain programs may require a higher GPA.

It's also important to know that Lehman College does not require submission of standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) from transfer students. But, if you have fewer than 24 college-level credits, you'll need to submit your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores, just like a first-year applicant.

There are also some unique requirements for specific degree programs, so if you're applying to a certain department, you'll want to look up their specific prerequisites.

One unique opportunity as a transfer student is the Transfer Evaluation and Advisement Day (TEAD) program, where you can have your transfer credits evaluated and learn more about what your course plan at Lehman might look like.

Once you've submitted your application, you'll need to wait for the admissions decision. The admissions office will evaluate your application by considering factors like your GPA, course rigor, and course grades.

Keep in mind that these steps might be subject to change and it's always a good idea to check Lehman College's official website or get in touch with their admissions office for the most up-to-date and detailed information.
