Transferring to a SUNY School

Information for transfer within SUNY

Because MVCC is a part of the State University of New York (SUNY), transferring to a four-year SUNY institution can be smooth and painless as long as you plan ahead and stay on course.

Helpful resources

It is important to note that if you graduate from a SUNY two-year college, SUNY waives the application fee for up to seven SUNY college choices. You must apply directly to SUNY four-year colleges for baccalaureate programs, and make sure to indicate on your application that you have (or will) earn an associate degree and check the "Transfer Fee Waiver" option on the payment portion of the application site.
  • SUNY Transfer Site: Find transfer policies, transfer paths, transfer steps, and other important information to assist you in making your transfer process smooth.

  • FAFSA Codes for SUNY Campuses: Find the FAFSA Code for your SUNY Campus, which is required for your FAFSA Application.
  • SUNY CEEB Codes: Find the CEEB code for your SUNY Campus. CEEB codes are useful to send SAT scores, AP scores, and other documentation needed for admission.

SUNY Transfer Guarantee Program

An opportunity to continue full-time study at a four-year State University college is guaranteed to all New York residents who transfer directly from a SUNY or CUNY two-year college with an AA or AS degree. The transfer guarantee becomes effective if you are denied admission at all of your SUNY four-year college choices.

To be eligible you must:

  • File your application with the ASC by March 1 for Fall admission and by Oct. 1 for Spring admission.
  • Provide four-year campuses with an official two-year college transcript, showing three semesters of completed studies by March 15 for Fall admission, and by Oct. 15 for Spring admission.
  • Complete all required supplemental application materials by April 15 for Fall admission and by Nov. 15 for Spring admission.

Although campus choice and academic program are not guaranteed, SUNY staff will work one-on-one with each Transfer Guarantee candidate to determine how the applicant can best be served given campuses and programs that are open and suitable.
