The Office of Transfer and Articulation generally resolves transfer issues through collegial discussion and support. Our staff employs a developmental academic advising approach to supporting students and engages in dialogue with all stakeholders to ensure a full consideration of the issue. Typically, matters referred to us as appeals can be resolved without escalating to a full appeal status. Therefore, we encourage faculty and staff to contact us at any time for guidance or information regarding policies or the appeal process and its steps.
SUNY provides appeal processes for students and for campuses. If a student does not agree with an initial decision on the granting or placement of credit earned at a prior SUNY institution, they have the right to submit an appeal to their campus and to SUNY System Administration. In addition, a campus can appeal a decision made by another SUNY campus when there is an issue with transfer articulation policies or procedures.
