Transfer Process to Lehman College?

I'm planning to transfer to Lehman College from my current school. Does anyone know the application process, deadlines, or documents needed? Any tips for making the transition smoother would be awesome!

The transfer process to Lehman College requires a bit of organization but is quite straightforward. Here are some key things you need to know:

Admissions criteria: Transfer students must have earned a high school diploma or GED. Lehman College also requires all transfer students to be in good academic standing at the last college attended, and you must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0-2.75 (dependent on your credits) or above to apply.

Applications: Lehman College accepts applications via the CUNY Application or the Common Application. You would have to select "transfer" as your student type.

Documents: Complete the application form and pay the $70 application fee. You also need to submit your official transcripts from all previously attended colleges. You can either submit these yourself if they are in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution or have them sent directly from each school you attended. If you're transferring with fewer than 24 credits completed, you'll also need to submit your high school transcripts or GED scores.

Tips: Check out the course equivalency to see if your credits transfer. Lehman College has a Transfer Evaluation System (TES) that helps you to see how your previously earned credits will transfer, and this helps to take the mystery out of the process.

Also, be sure to complete the FAFSA and the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application as soon as possible if you're applying for financial aid. The sooner you apply, the sooner you'll know how much financial aid you're eligible for.

Be sure to meet with academic advisors at both your current school and Lehman during the process. They can help ensure your credits will transfer and that you’re on track to meet your desired major's prerequisites. It’s also a good idea to reach out to professors, student clubs or organizations in your intended area of study at Lehman. They can give you some sense of what to expect in terms of coursework and campus life.

The transfer process can be tricky, but preparation and proactivity will make it smoother! Best of luck with your transfer application and transition to Lehman!
