Please note that some courses required in a Transfer Pathway may not be required for the MCC program. This could have financial aid implications. Students should meet with their advisor or with a transfer representative to discuss an academic plan and recommended sequence of courses.
Transfer Guide


Students interested in this Competitive Transfer Pathway must complete an MCC program change request and meet specific entrance requirements to be formally accepted.

For those accepted (as indicated by their MCC major): Continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours each semester) is required. Enrollment and following the guide will increase the likelihood of acceptance. Student contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students will complete the Intent to Enroll Form the semester before they intend to transfer.

If not accepted, students can still follow this guide and apply to the UR using the Common Application.

All students are encouraged to meet with transfer staff at MCC and at the transfer institution.

Important:

  • College coursework (College Now and other Dual Enrollment classes) taught in high school will NOT be granted transfer credit at UR. See UR transfer credit policies.
  • Click on hyperlinks for SUNY General Education course options, and use the MCC Master List to choose courses that will transfer to UR.
  • AP, IB, CLEP, & Transfer courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See AP Policies and IB Policies. Contact UR with questions.
  • Courses will transfer only if the student receives a grade of C or better. Higher grades for certain courses may be required (ex. chemistry courses).
  • Read additional UR specific information at the bottom of this page.
