Transferring from LaGuardia to Queens College

I'm currently at LaGuardia and considering transferring to Queens College. Does anyone know how smooth this process is? Would love to hear about credit transfers and any potential challenges I might face.

While I can't give specifics without knowing your major and credits, generally, the transfer process from one CUNY college to another, such as from LaGuardia Community College to Queens College, is usually streamlined. Factors that may impact the smoothness of the process include the alignment of your completed courses with your intended major at Queens College, and whether there are specific articulation agreements in place for your planned program of study.

For instance, if you're pursuing an Associates degree that directly correlates to a Bachelors degree at Queens College, it would likely be a smoother transfer process because CUNY colleges often have articulation agreements for such cases.

In terms of credit transfer, as both are CUNY institutions, the credits acquired should ideally be transferable. But, some credits may not count toward the requirements of a specific major. It's advisable to maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher, as some competitive programs may require a higher average.

To ensure the smoothest possible transition, here are a few steps you might consider:

1. Meet with an academic advisor at LaGuardia Community College to discuss your plans. Discuss what programs at Queens College align with your career goals, and what credits are likely to transfer.

2. Connect with the admissions office at Queens College where you can discuss your transfer intentions and gather insights about transfer requirements.

3. Make sure you complete all necessary transfer paperwork before application deadlines. This includes applications, financial aid transfers, and other necessary forms.

Remember that the resources at both institutions are there to support you, so don't hesitate to reach out and gather all the information you can to make the process as smooth as possible.
