TRANSFER ADMISSIONS


Transfer candidates must submit official high school and college transcripts and SAT scores.  An academic recommendation is optional.

In general, all courses completed with grades of C- or better and similar to those found in the college catalog, are acceptable for transfer, up to a maximum of 75 credits.  Transfer students who have taken the equivalent of the required writing and mathematics courses and passed these with a C- or better are not required to take the writing and mathematics placement exams.

Transfer students who have completed an Associate in Arts degree with a minimum of 60 credits will be granted junior status.  The official transcript must indicate that the Associate degree was earned.  The liberal arts core program at The College of New Rochelle will be satisfied with the provision that to receive credit for an elementary level foreign language, two semesters are needed to transfer credits.  Math requirements for the associate degree must be equal to either MTH 109: Quantitative Reasoning or MTH 111: College Mathematics at The College of New Rochelle.

The transfer student must usually complete one-half of her major and minor courses at The College of New Rochelle.  In addition, 30 of the credits required in residence must be completed on the junior or senior level.  Each transfer student's credentials will be discussed with the chairpersons of the major departments to determine which previously completed courses will be accepted toward department requirements.  A transfer student intending to pursue an art major is required to show the Chairperson of the Art Department a portfolio of her work to determine her proficiency.

The prospective transfer student can take advantage of our Transfer Days, which are scheduled throughout the year.  This is an opportunity to visit the campus and find out in one day whether she qualifies for acceptance, which courses will be considered for transfer, and what kinds of financial aid are available.  Students should bring the following items:
  • a completed College of New Rochelle application and fee;
  • an official of college transcript(s);
  • course descriptions of all courses completed;
  • a copy of the completed Financial Aid Form; and
  • a financial aid transcript from each college or university attended

The student will be able to meet with a transfer counselor, a financial aid counselor, and a member of the Dean's staff, who will help in course selection.  Time is allowed for a campus tour, visit to classes, and lunch.  Student who cannot attend a Transfer Day should schedule a visit at their convenience by calling the Office of Admission at 1-800-933-5923.

When the transfer application is complete, an official letter of response, with a preliminary credit evaluation, will be sent to the student.

Official transcripts and any other documentation necessary for transfer of credits to fulfill graduation requirements must be on file in the Office of the Registrar.  Students must request these materials from previously attended institutions.
