Student Transfer Appeal Process

Student Transfer Appeal Process

If you do not agree with your SUNY college's 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 your receiving campus.

While each campus may require different materials for their transfer appeal processes, you should be prepared to provide material to support your case, such as the course description or syllabus in question. The campus transfer representative will explain the process to you and let you know exactly what materials are needed.

Once all the required information is received, the transfer appeal representative will provide you with a written response within 15 business days. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the representative will notify you, the chairperson, and/or the program coordinator and see that the change is made to your student record.

If the decision is unchanged, or you have not received a response in 15 business days, you may take your appeal to SUNY System Administration by submitting the Student Transfer Appeal Form along with the requested materials.

SUNY representatives will respond to your appeal within five business days of receipt of the completed application. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the receiving institution will be notified to take appropriate action.

If you have questions about the process, please email studentmobility@suny.edu.
