Transfer Students

If you who have attended another college and wish to transfer credits to Jefferson please follow the same application procedures as a new student to be accepted.

• If you wish to receive credit for coursework completed at another institution, you must request your official college transcript be sent to Enrollment Services. 
• High school transcripts are also required unless you have completed either a recognized associate or bachelor’s degree. Specific programs may still require your high school transcripts and if that is the case you will be notified.
• Please note: To earn a degree or certificate at Jefferson, a minimum of 50% of the required coursework must be completed through Jefferson Community College. 
• Once admitted (matriculated), the transcript will be evaluated for credit. Transfer credit will not be used in calculation of the student grade point average. You will be notified once the evaluation is complete via your Jefferson email account and instructions will be provided for viewing the evaluation and credit.
  
  
  • Only coursework with a grade of “C” or above is eligible for transfer credit.
  • Coursework completed with passing grades at all SUNY campuses satisfy the SUNY General Education area or areas designated for the course.
