Students who enter New Paltz as Transfer Students have their transfer credits evaluated by the Transfer Admissions Office. Credits will, however, be evaluated to determine the number of liberal arts and upper division credits which have been transferred. Not all credits transferred may apply to these categories. Credits transferred, but not applied to a specific requirement, transfer as elective credits and apply toward the total credits required for graduation. Transfer students are also eligible for waivers of General Education.
Some restrictions apply.
Once a transfer student declares a major, the major department will also review the transfer credits with respect to major requirements. If transfer students are not bringing in courses in mathematics or foreign language, they will be placed into those courses according to the guidelines used for freshmen.
