Students who attended a regionally accredited college or university after graduation from high school must file a CUNY Transfer (Advanced Standing) application. Transfer applicants are considered for admission with advanced standing if they have a minimum of a 2.5 average; some programs may be higher. Applicants with fewer than 24 credits must also satisfy freshman admission criteria.
Nondegree students who are in attendance at Hunter College as well as those who were previously enrolled, in addition to meeting the above stated criteria, must have had a minimum grade point average of 2.0 in their Hunter coursework.
Transfer admissions decisions and determinations of advanced standing are made by the Hunter College Admissions Office on the basis of work done as a matriculated student at regionally accredited two- and four-year colleges and universities. Only courses in which a student has earned a grade of C or better (D from CUNY colleges) can be accepted for transfer. Transfer credit will not be granted for any remedial, developmental or ESL coursework.
Graduate coursework is not transferrable to the undergraduate degree program.
Transfer students from CUNY community colleges who have earned an AA or AS degree are admitted to the college, awarded junior status and considered to have satisfied core course requirements. However, depending upon the major selected at Hunter, some students may need more than 60 additional credits in order to complete Hunter’s bachelor’s degree requirements. Transfer students from CUNY colleges who have not earned a two-year AA or AS degree and transfer students from non-CUNY colleges are awarded credit for previous work on a course-by-course basis. All transfer students, including those entering with CUNY AA and AS degrees, must fulfill the college’s foreign language and Pluralism and Diversity, and Writing requirements.
The maximum total number of credits that may be transferred to Hunter College is 90. There is a 70-credit limit on the number of credits that may be transferred from two-year institutions.
Applicants are required to report and provide transcripts for all previous college coursework including coursework that was in progress at the time of application. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action and the denial of transfer credit. |
