Transfer Credit

Transfer Credit Award

With some limitations, students may be granted credit for courses completed at other accredited colleges and universities that offer courses comparable in credit and content to those offered at City Tech, provided satisfactory grades were received (generally a “D” or better at any other CUNY unit; “C” or better at other institutions).

If a course was taken on a pass/fail basis at another CUNY institution, the official transcript or catalog contract year must state that the pass grade equals a “D” or better for transfer credit to be considered. If a course was taken on a pass/fail basis at an institution outside CUNY, the official transcript or catalog contract year must state that the pass grade equals a “C” or better for transfer credit to be considered.

This excludes coursework from outside of the United States.

To earn an associate degree and qualify for associate honors at City Tech, students must complete a minimum of 30 credits in residence; 15 must be in the major department. The remaining credits needed to complete the degree may be transferred, provided they are approved for credit by NYCCT.

To receive credit for courses taken at other accredited colleges and universities, students must have official transcripts on file in the registrar’s office. Student copies will not be accepted. All foreign language transcripts must be accompanied by a notarized affidavit attesting to the accuracy of the English translation. When credit is granted from another institution, the grade does not generate quality points toward the cumulative grade point average.

Transfer Credit Evaluation Appeal

 Students may appeal a transfer credit evaluation, by submitting the required form to the chair of the department offering the equivalent course, or in the case of general education courses, the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, with a copy sent to the Transfer Office. The department chair/dean will review the appeal and submit a final recommendation to the Transfer Office. If this appeal does not resolve the issue, you can appeal directly to CUNY by clicking here.

Note: To avoid financial aid issues, students should submit the transfer credit appeal as early as possible, ideally with sufficient time for evaluation prior to the first day of their initial semester at City Tech. Appeals will not be accepted after the first semester of a student’s enrollment at New York City College of Technology. The college accepts no responsibility for the student’s failure to submit the appeal in a timely fashion.

Visit the T-Rex Help Center to learn how to make the most of T-Rex--and remember, it's never too early to begin planning your transfer journey.

Second-Degree Students

A student who has already received an associate or bachelor’s degree from NYCCT will receive credit toward the second degree for all applicable courses successfully completed at NYCCT. A student in continuous attendance may simply submit to the Registrar’s Office a Change of Curriculum form. If there is a break in the student’s attendance at the College, however, a readmit application must be filed for second-degree status.
