Transfer Guarantee

Core Courses are courses that fulfill lower-level requirements and apply to any transfer path major where they appear. General Physics I with Lab is universal course description, which maps to specific courses on SUNY campuses. Approved SUNY Transfer Path Core Courses are guaranteed to transfer to fulfill requirements in the major and/or required cognates (not just as electives) at all SUNY campuses if the course is completed with a grade of C or better.1 You may Search for Core Course equivalents using the Transfer Navigator.
