Submit an official transcript of your work for evaluation and follow the regular admissions procedure. If you are earning a degree or certificate from Herkimer College, you must successfully complete 30 hours of the total hours required for the degree program and 15 hours of the total required for the certificate program at Herkimer College. Only grades of “C” or better will be considered for transfer credit. Records from other colleges will be evaluated in terms of academic credit applicable to the course offerings at Herkimer College.
Transfer Appeal Process:
If you do not agree with Herkimer College's decision on the granting or placement of credit that you earned at a prior SUNY institution, you have the right to submit an appeal to the college’s Provost Office.
Note: You must have a grade of "C" or better in a course for it to be considered for transfer.
While each campus has a slightly different transfer appeal process, you should be prepared to provide reasonable material to support your case, such as the course description or syllabus in question. The campus transfer representative will explain the process to you and let you know exactly what materials are needed. Once all of the required information is received, you should have a written response within 15 business days. If the decision is unchanged, or you have not received a response in 15 business days, you may take your appeal to the SUNY System Provost by submitting the Student Transfer Appeal Form along with requested materials. The SUNY Provost will respond to your appeal within five business days from receipt of the completed appeal application. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the receiving institution will be notified to take appropriate action.
