SpeechLaedy Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Is this possible? I've researched it and seen that it is I guess "possible" but in rare occasions it seems. My school is way too expensive, so if I could transfer to a SUNY/CUNY after the first semester of classes (12 credits), that would work much better for me and ease my loan anxiety. I looked up schools in NY to see if they have any info on transferring graduate credits but there is hardly any info out there on that. Would love to get some input on this and/or personal experiences regarding this.
CBG321 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 So I don't live in New York and have not done this myself so this is all pure speculation. However I do work closely with my own school's administration. I believe the only way this is typically possible is if you go after another program you were already previously accepted to that way they know you meet their qualifications. I think for any other situation you would need to completely reapply from scratch and contact their program head's to explain your unique situation. If you are currently doing well in your graduate program I think there may be a possibility but I don't think they give special treatment to current graduate students. Not to imply you are looking for that at all!! But most programs won't know anything about you from any of the hundreds of other students who are applying to their programs the first time which is frankly easier for the administration they don't have to confer any of your classes. It will take a lot of work for the university you transfer to, to go through all your classes and determine if they will even count them. It definitely doesn't hurt to try though!
Speechster Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I think it would be hard since they have their cohort already set and their class sequence may be different from the school you are going to go to. It can be done, but I think the chances are pretty slim and it will take you longer to graduate to get on their sequence
Auuudriana Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 It is possible but not probable. Plus, I think they only accept up to 9 credits or something.
