Does Queens College accept transfer credits easily?

I'm considering transferring to Queens College and want to know about their transfer credit policy. Do they generally accept credits from other schools, or is it tough to get credits transferred?

Queens College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, indeed accepts transfer credits from other accredited institutions. However, the ease with which these credits transfer can vary depending on the specific courses and the institution from which you're transferring.

You'll want to know that Queens College operates on a course-by-course transfer credit evaluation. So the courses you've taken at your current institution must match up closely with the courses offered at Queens College in terms of content, level, and rigor. Some schools and departments within Queens College may have specific limits and requirements, especially for major courses.

CUNY-to-CUNY transfer is typically the smoothest, owing to the CUNY system's shared general education requirements (Pathways). If you're transferring from another CUNY institution, your credits will likely transfer fairly easily.

Credits from non-CUNY colleges or universities are also traditionally considered for transfer. If your courses were completed at an accredited institution and align well with Queens College's curriculum, there's a high possibility that many, if not all, of your credits will be accepted.

In either case, it's a good idea to consult with an admissions or transfer advisor at Queens College to assess your specific situation. They can guide you through the evaluation process and potentially provide a preliminary review of your credits. Be aware, though, you may only receive a final and official determination of transferable credits after being admitted to Queens College. You'll also need to provide official transcripts from all previously attended institutions for evaluation.

So, while credit transfer is a case-by-case situation, knowing your course similarity and having the right advising can be instrumental in having a smooth credit transfer to Queens College.
