Transfer Applicants Any applicant who has completed college coursework after graduation from high school is considered to be a transfer, re gard less of the number of credits.

Applicants with an AA/AS degree from a SUNY two-year college are given high priority in admission. A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required for admission into any teacher certification program. Evaluation Process The Admissions Committee considers four basic criteria in evaluating an applicant’s eligibility: college preparatory subjects, grade point average, ACT and/ or SAT results and rank-in-class.
