The campus appeals process is available for SUNY faculty or administrators to initiate an appeal to the Office of Transfer and Articulation and the SUNY Office of the Provost for matters related to the implementation of Seamless Transfer policies.
ⓘ Please see Memorandum to Presidents Vol.13, No. 3.
Issues that may be appealed include the transfer of guaranteed courses (i.e. Transfer Path or General Education courses), the inclusion of courses within the Transfer Path or General Education course database, courses with similar curricular content that fall outside the Transfer Path or General Education database, and other issues pertaining to transfer student success. Appeals may only be submitted regarding transfer issues between SUNY institutions, and do not pertain to non-SUNY public or private institutions.
Prior to submitting an appeal, campus faculty and staff are encouraged to contact the Office of Transfer and Articulation for assistance. Most appeal issues at the student and campus level are resolved quickly and collegially through policy discussion and outreach.
To submit a campus appeal, please use the SUNY Seamless Transfer Campus Appeal Form (PDF). In addition to completing the form, please provide a letter outlining (1) the reasons for the appeal, (2) previous actions taken to resolve the issue and (3) the desired outcome. You must also include any relevant evidence or documentation demonstrating the need for the appeal such as transcripts, syllabi, links to online materials, outcome data, etc... Please also include copies of relevant related communication, such as letters or emails, that would help to understand efforts to resolve the issue. Please be certain to remove any student personally identifiable information (PII).
