Whether you’ve just transferred into a SUNY bachelor’s program, earned college credit through dual enrollment or high school partnerships, or are planning to cross-register for courses at another campus—this space is for you.
Your transfer journey doesn’t end once you enroll in a baccalaureate program—and neither should the support you receive. That’s why we’ve created this page: to connect you with the guidance, tools, and resources you need to thrive as a transfer student at SUNY.
Explore the resources below to find answers, get support, and make the most of your SUNY experience.
Each SUNY campus provides its own set of resources and support services tailored to student needs. Use the Support Directory to explore the wide range of support options available across our campuses, and find the help you need, wherever you are in SUNY.
As a transfer student within SUNY, you should expect a transfer process that is fair, respectful, and centered on your academic and personal success. The Transfer Student Bill of Rights affirms SUNY’s commitment to fostering an equitable environment for all transfer students.

Under SUNY's Seamless Transfer Policy, if you do not agree with your SUNY college's initial decision on the granting or placement of credit that you earned at a prior SUNY institution, you have the right to submit an appeal to the campus issuing the credit.

SUNY’s cross-registration policy helps you stay on track for graduation by allowing you to take courses at other SUNY campuses. Whether you're looking to fill a gap in your schedule, explore a subject not offered at your home campus, or add flexibility to your academic plan, cross-registration makes it possible. Through the SUNY Cross-Registration Portal, you can request courses, receive the necessary approvals, and ensure that your credits will transfer back to your degree program.
Access Cross-Registration Resources
Did you transfer from a SUNY community college before completing your associate degree? You may still be eligible to earn it—thanks to SUNY’s Reverse Transfer process. As you continue working toward your bachelor’s degree at a four-year SUNY campus, the credits you’re earning now could help you complete the associate degree you started. It’s a great way to get recognized for the work you’ve already done—and add a valuable credential to your résumé while you’re still in school.
The SUNY Transfer Equivalency Platform (STEP) makes it easy to see how courses transfer across SUNY campuses. If you're planning to cross-register or you just want to understand how previous credits apply, this tool will give you quick access to transfer course equivalencies and catalog data—all in one place.
