| transfer_credit | Transfer Credit Transfer Credits/Advanced Standing at Empire State University Empire State University recognizes that students acquire college-level learning from many sources. Advanced standing refers to academic credit for college-level learning gained outside of your attendance at SUNY Empire State University. This includes traditional transfer credit (https://catalog.sunyempire.edu/undergraduate/transfer- credit/credit-from-other-institutions20/) as well as any assessed prior learning such as credits earned through standardized exams (https://catalog.sunyempire.edu/undergraduate/transfer-credit/ standardexams/), military credits (https://catalog.sunyempire.edu/ undergraduate/transfer-credit/military-credit/), professional learning that has been pre-evaluated (PLE (https://catalog.sunyempire.edu/ undergraduate/pla/ple/)), or individualized credit for prior learning (iC (https://catalog.sunyempire.edu/undergraduate/pla/ipla/)PL) (https:// catalog.sunyempire.edu/undergraduate/pla/ipla/). See the individual sections of the catalog for more information about each type of advanced standing. Transfer credit and other prior learning (advanced standing) that meets policy for acceptance will be evaluated and applied to a student's record as close to the time of admission as possible. At SUNY Empire we apply all available transfer credit to a student's record, so the student and their mentor can see what is available. Maximum Number of Transfer Credits In most associate degree programs, students may include up to 40 credits of transfer and/or other prior learning (advanced standing). Students in an AA or AS in General Studies program may transfer in up to 52 credits. In our baccalaureate programs students may include up to 90-93 credits of advanced standing, depending on the overall number of credits required in the degree. D Grades The University accepts transfer credit for courses in which the student earned a grade of C- or higher, or its equivalent. Some programs may have specific grade requirements for transfer credits, as detailed in the undergraduate programs section of the catalog. Credits Not Counting Toward A Degree Developmental/Remedial Developmental courses, remedial courses, English language courses that strengthen a student’s language skills to college-level, or pre- college courses listed on transcripts are not accepted as transfer credit. A student may demonstrate their knowledge in these areas by taking a standardized examination or through the individualized credit for prior learning process. Transferring CPL Credit From Another Institution Credit for prior learning or credit for individually evaluated learning that comes to the university on a transcript from a regionally accredited institution or from an institution on the NYSED approved list when you attended may be accepted when it is part of a completed A.A., A.S. | 2026-2027 | catalog.sunyempire.edu | |

Individualized Credit for Prior Learning (iCPL) INDIVIDUALIZED Credit for Prior Learning (ICPL) Empire State University is committed to the idea that students should be awarded credit for verifiable college-level learning regardless of where or how it was acquired. This learning can be evaluated through the individualized Credit for Prior Learning process. Individualized Credit for Prior Learning (ICPL) is the process by which students explain and document their college-level learning, which is then assessed by an expert evaluator. The Credit for Prior Learning (https://sunyesc.sharepoint.com/sites/ PriorLearningforCurrentStudents/SitePages/Individualized-Prior- Learning-Assessment-(iPLA).aspx) webpage (login required) provides students with in-depth information on how to request credits through an assessment of prior learning. For current information on the fees associated with individualized Credit for Prior Learning, please visit Fees at Empire State University (https://www.esc.edu/student-accounts/ tuition-fees/esc-fees/). • Staff in the Office of Prior Learning review the ICPL request for assignment to a qualified evaluator with expertise relevant to the subject. | 2026-2027 | catalog.sunyempire.edu | |

A student's mentor or the Office of Prior Learning can help them determine whether their learning might be college level and whether it would contribute to their degree program goals. Students and their mentors will engage in early and ongoing conversations regarding their background, potential areas for prior learning assessment and potential areas for new learning – in other words, regarding the overall scope of their degree program and plans for their new learning through enrollment in Empire State University studies. Through the Office of Prior Learning, the university provides online, print and in-person resources that support students in this process. Students can contact the Office of Prior Learning through email at OPL@sunyempire.edu. The Credit for Prior Learning (https:// sunyesc.sharepoint.com/sites/PriorLearningforCurrentStudents/ SitePages/Individualized-Prior-Learning-Assessment- (iPLA).aspx) webpage (login required) provides students with in-depth information on identifying college-level learning and how to describe and document the learning. Staff in the Office of Prior Learning also can provide guidance. WORKING WITH AN EVALUATOR The Office of Prior Learning will select a qualified evaluator with expertise in the subject area of the learning students have described in their ICPL request. AWARD OF ICPL CREDIT For all undergraduate students, the award of credit for their prior learning is the responsibility of the faculty committee of academic review. Once the evaluated ICPL credits are approved by the faculty academic review committee, and submitted to the Office of the Registrar, the student's prior learning assessment credits become official and are part of their student record. | 2026-2027 | catalog.sunyempire.edu | |

| AWARD OF ICPL CREDIT | prior_learning | PLA PLANNER INDIVIDUALIZED Credit for Prior Learning (ICPL) Empire State University is committed to the idea that students should be awarded credit for verifiable college-level learning regardless of where or how it was acquired. This learning can be evaluated through the individualized Credit for Prior Learning process. Individualized Credit for Prior Learning (ICPL) is the process by which students explain and document their college-level learning, which is then assessed by an expert evaluator. The Credit for Prior Learning webpage (login required) provides students with in-depth information on how to request credits through an assessment of prior learning. For current information on the fees associated with individualized Credit for Prior Learning, please visit Fees at Empire State University . OVERALL PROCESS Overall, the ICPL process includes the following steps: The student works with their mentor to develop their ICPL request. Staff in the Office of Prior Learning review the ICPL request for assignment to a qualified evaluator with expertise relevant to the subject. These include: Workplace training and experience Licenses, certifications and other credentials not evaluated by ACE, NCCRS or Empire State University Continuing professional education, including some training that yields continuing education units (CEUs) Learning acquired through open educational resources (e.g., MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)) Volunteer work in the community Hobbies and recreational activities that have resulted in considerable learning Independent reading and research Study at postsecondary/proprietary schools that may be licensed but not accredited Students seeking assessment of their prior learning should consult the Office of Prior Learning website. A student's mentor or the Office of Prior Learning can help them determine whether their learning might be college level and whether it would contribute to their degree program goals. Students and their mentors will engage in early and ongoing conversations regarding their background, potential areas for prior learning assessment and potential areas for new learning – in other words, regarding the overall scope of their degree program and plans for their new learning through enrollment in Empire State University studies. Through the Office of Prior Learning, the university provides online, print and in-person resources that support students in this process. Students can contact the Office of Prior Learning through email at OPL@sunyempire.edu. The Credit for Prior Learning webpage (login required) provides students with in-depth information on identifying college-level learning and how to describe and document the learning. Staff in the Office of Prior Learning also can provide guidance. WORKING WITH AN EVALUATOR The Office of Prior Learning will select a qualified evaluator with expertise in the subject area of the learning students have described in their ICPL request. AWARD OF ICPL CREDIT For all undergraduate students, the award of credit for their prior learning is the responsibility of the faculty committee of academic review. Once the evaluated ICPL credits are approved by the faculty academic review committee, and submitted to the Office of the Registrar, the student's prior learning assessment credits become official and are part of their student record. | 2026-2027 | catalog.sunyempire.edu |

See the individual sections of the catalog for more information about each type of advanced standing. Transfer credit and other prior learning (advanced standing) that meets policy for acceptance will be evaluated and applied to a student's record as close to the time of admission as possible. At SUNY Empire we apply all available transfer credit to a student's record, so the student and their mentor can see what is available. Maximum Number of Transfer Credits In most associate degree programs, students may include up to 40 credits of transfer and/or other prior learning (advanced standing). Students in an AA or AS in General Studies program may transfer in up to 52 credits.
