Policies

Applicants who have attended a post-secondary institution such as a hospital school of nursing, secretarial science school, non-college degree granting technical institute or LPN training school must file a Transfer Application; they are not eligible for transfer of credits. An official high school transcript with date of graduation or original, General Education Development (G.E.D.) or Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASCTM) is required for all transfer applicants, even if the applicant has earned a bachelor's degree.

CUNY BA, as it is commonly known, accepts up to 68 transfer credits earned at the community college level, and up to 90 credits in total.

Transfer Policies and Procedures The consideration of transfer credit is determined by course equivalencies, including expected learning outcomes, with those of the College's curricula and standards. Kingsborough Community College applies the guidelines listed below in order to award academic credit for prior learning. Transfer Policies: Advanced Standing Credit A maximum of 30* credits will be accepted toward degree completion through the combined options of testing and course transfer, provided that each course was completed with a satisfactory grade; the course content is equivalent to a Kingsborough course; and the course is appropriate to the student's graduation requirements. In those cases where a grade of "C-" carries two quality points on a four point scale, transfer credit will be granted. Courses with a grade value of "pass" or "satisfactory" will be accepted as transfer credits when the transcript states that a "pass" or "satisfactory" is equivalent to a "C" or above. Transfer courses will be awarded credit with no grade value (quality points) assigned. Transfer credits approved by Kingsborough Community College are counted towards attempted and completed credits. Transfer credits are not counted towards the grade point average (GPA). Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) Students may also earn academic credit through nationally recognized standardized examinations consistent with the CUNY Policy on Credit for Prior Learning (CPL).

Awarding of credit for the above Standardized Examinations will count towards the transfer credit maximum of 30 credits. Students requesting transfer credit should contact the Admissions Office, V-101, or email Transfer.Evaluations@kbcc.cuny.edu. Awarding of credit for non-collegiate learning will count towards the transfer credit maximum of 30 credits. Awarding of credit for military credit will count towards the transfer credit maximum of 30 credits.

That designation will be accepted at any CUNY college to which the student might subsequently transfer. Pathways Appeals Students can appeal to the Pathways Appeals Officer, located in A-228, for course reevaluation, following denial or restriction of transfer credit(s) for courses determined through their transfer credit evaluation.

Course Age In general, courses will be considered for transferability regardless of their age. Change of Curriculum When submitting a Change of Status Application form to change your Plan/Major, you should also file an Application for Advanced Standing for the new Plan/Major to have your credits re-evaluated to fit the requirements of your new degree. Developmental Courses Developmental courses are not accepted as transferred courses. Certificate Programs Matriculated students may request transfer credits be evaluated. Transfer Procedures: Transfer of Credits Transfer students who have previously attended a college or other college-level post-secondary school must submit a Transfer Application along with an official transcript from each college or post-secondary school attended.
