Transfer to UAlbany
Apply to UAlbany today by visiting Undergraduate Admissions or International Admissions. Note: If you previously attended UAlbany, explore Readmission & Degree Completion.
The University has transfer articulation agreements with other institutions that facilitate students’ transfer from their starting institutions to UAlbany. These pathways help students maximize the number of credits that transfer to UAlbany and ensure timely bachelor’s degree completion.
Visit the First-Year Experience website for information on transfer student support.
For students transferring to UAlbany from other SUNY schools, and who have a finalized transfer credit evaluation report, only:
Transfer credit will be evaluated and awarded appropriate UAlbany equivalencies (including major, minor, General Education, and elective credit) upon matriculation. If you believe that there are any errors in the designation of equivalencies, please discuss this with your academic advisor (if you do not have an advisor or do not know who your advisor is, please email [email protected]). If, after working with your advisor, you still believe that decisions about equivalencies are in error, you may submit a petition to UAlbany’s Campus Transfer Representative by completing a Transfer Credit Appeal. You will receive a written response within 15 business days once the Campus Transfer Representative has received the form and all required information.
If the appeal is successful, your record will be updated with the appropriate equivalencies. If the appeal is denied, or if you have not received a response in 15 business days, you may submit an appeal to the SUNY System Provost. For information about that process, please visit SUNY’s web site devoted to Student Mobility.
Transfer to Another Institution
If you’re looking to transfer from UAlbany to another institution, they may request a College Report or Dean’s Recommendation in addition to your transfer application.
Request a College Report or Dean's Recommendation. You must provide the form(s), as well as instructions for how and where to send the completed paperwork.
We encourage you to provide a direct email address, instead of a fax number.
If the letter should be sent via postal mail, you must bring a stamped, addressed envelope to the Office of Undergraduate Education in Taconic 382. You are responsible for determining the mailing address for the transfer admissions office at the institution to which you’re applying.
Note: We are obligated to report any academic and/or disciplinary sanctions you have at UAlbany.
