Transfer of Credit Policies and Articulation Agreements:

As is the case for all colleges of The City University of New York, City Tech is governed by the transfer policy of the CUNY Board of Trustees, reproduced in its entirety below. Operating within that policy, the goal of the College is to facilitate student success and to allow for the most rapid student progress through the transfer credit evaluation.

The college’s transfer policy is posted in several locations, as part of information about particular topics:

• The college catalog

The transfer student center (STAR) website, which includes a list of answers to frequently asked questions about the criteria regarding the transfer of credit earned at other institutions of higher learning.

City Tech's advising information pages, which includes an explanation of how general education courses transfer.

• CUNY Transfer Explorer (T-Rex), a resource for looking up specific courses from other institutions (both CUNY and non-CUNY), AP and other standardized tests, and credit for prior learning in other venues.

CUNY General Education transfer policies can also be found in the CUNY Manual of General Policy. Assignment of general education attributes for the CUNY-wide general education common core, "Pathways" are also described on the college’s website (Pathways).

Students transferring into City Tech benefit from more than 50 articulation agreements, which establish the terms under which students graduating from many local community college programs may enter City Tech baccalaureate programs and high school students can earn advanced standing or college credit. A list of these articulation agreements can be found on the Articulation Agreements page. Information on any of these articulation agreements can be obtained from the appropriate City Tech academic department. The awarding of transfer credit not covered specifically by articulation agreements or CUNY Board policy involves coordination between our Transfer Student Center and the academic departments to be sure that students are accurately placed, and receive all appropriate credit for prior work.

Whenever possible the student is informed about transfer credit before the matriculation decision, which TREX in particular supports. Our goal is to grant students all of the credit to which they are entitled. Your success is our goal! Our Transfer Center works closely with students transferring into the College. Information about how courses transfer into and out of City Tech can be found in TREX.
