I'm considering transferring some credits from City College to Hunter College. What's the process like for transferring credits between CUNY schools, and are there any specific requirements I should know about?
Transferring credits between CUNY schools, such as from City College to Hunter College, is generally a straightforward process thanks to the CUNY system's transfer credit policies. Here are the steps you're likely to follow:
1. Apply to Hunter College: The first step is to apply for a transfer to Hunter College. During this process, you will specify that you intend to transfer credits from your previous institution, which in your case is City College.
2. Send Transcripts: Once your application is complete, you’ll need to have your official transcript sent from City College to Hunter College. This usually involves requesting the transcript from the City College registrar.
3. Transfer Credit Evaluation: After receiving your transcripts, Hunter College will evaluate your courses for equivalency to determine how many of your credits are transferable. The Courses from CUNY institutions that are deemed "equivalent" will be easily transferable, with grades of C- or higher.
4. Review Results: Once Hunter College finishes evaluating your City College credits, you can review the results through your CUNYfirst account.
Remember, for the most accurate information it's always a good idea to reach out to Hunter College's admissions department or an academic advisor. They can provide you with the most detailed, up-to-date information on transferring credits.
