    TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

    What to Know

    1. SUNY FMCC offers both Fall and Spring Transfer Fairs with over 40 SUNY and Private Colleges to encourage students to make contact with representatives of 4 year schools.
    2. You can transfer any time however, consider completing your degree at SUNY FMCC first. Transferring with an associate degree provides advanced standing at a 4 year college and also makes it more likely that you will be successful in your quest for a baccalaureate degree.
    3. When you are ready to transfer you will need to request your official transcript from SUNY FMCC.
    4. The coursework in our associate’s degree programs is comparable to that of the freshman and sophomore year at most 4 year schools. We would argue that SUNY FMCC provides greater preparation and support as you are being taught by experienced faculty in small classes – 10:1 student to faculty ratio.

    100+ Transfer Agreements

    Transfer Articulation Agreements
    FMCC has entered into transfer articulation agreements with several public and private colleges and universities. An articulation agreement is a detailed sequence of coursework that has been pre-approved by the transfer institution. These agreements ensure transfer of FMCC courses, allowing the student to automatically enter the 4 year college as a junior.

    Seamless Transfer
    Transfer Articulation Agreements are not required for transfer. Due to the development of online transfer equivalency databases offered at most four year institutions, a seamless transfer can be planned with or without an agreement. The Transfer Counselor can work with you on the navigation of these tools.
