Cortland welcomes approximately 840 new transfer students each year to our campus community. We recognize that transferring to a new school can be both exciting and a bit confusing.
Research and planning are essential to a smooth transfer. To start planning your academic transition to SUNY Cortland:
- Review the Transfer Admissions criteria and application process.
- Review all the majors offered at Cortland. Please note that transfer students are typically not permitted to transfer with an undeclared major.
- Use the Transfer Planning Sheets or an Articulation Agreement to plan your coursework at your current college.
- Review Cortland's transfer credit policies.
- Apply!
- Once you have been accepted to Cortland and pay your admissions deposit, follow the New Student Checklist to ensure a smooth transition from housing, to dining, financial aid and more.
