Transferring college credits to SUNY Geneseo

I'm interested in transferring to SUNY Geneseo and am curious about their credit transfer policy. Does anyone have tips on how to ensure as many of my credits transfer as possible? What should I expect in terms of evaluation?

With the process of transferring credits to SUNY Geneseo, it's key to make sure that each class you've taken corresponds closely with classes at Geneseo. The institution typically recommends that transfer students have completed coursework in the liberal arts to align with their academic model.

Generally, courses completed at an accredited institution with a grade of C or higher will be eligible for transfer. However, bear in mind that the applicability of these credits to your Geneseo degree will depend on the specifics of your intended program of study. For example, if you're planning to major in the humanities, your science and math credits might not be as applicable toward your degree requirements.

One tip to ensure as many of your credits transfer as possible is to speak with an academic advisor at Geneseo before transferring. They can provide guidance on which of your credits are likely to transfer and offer suggestions for courses to take that will fulfill Geneseo's requirements. If you hold onto your syllabi from your previous college classes, they can be helpful during the credit evaluation process.

SUNY Geneseo evaluates each class on a case-by-case basis during the credit evaluation process. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep your course syllabi and samples of your work, which could come in handy during the evaluation process. Your academic history, course content, and grades will all be considered in the credit transfer process.

But remember, each case is unique and different colleges have varied policies for credit transfer, so it's always best to reach out to SUNY Geneseo's Admissions Office directly for the most accurate and specific information.
