SUNY Geneseo - More Transfer Friendly
SUNY Geneseo has just approved a seamless transfer policy. This means MCC
students who transfer to Geneseo after graduating with an AS or AA degree will
no longer need to complete the SUNY Geneseo local general education requirement
(e.g. three semesters of foreign language, the specific Humanities course, the
additional Natural Science course, and two Fine Arts courses.)
Education students will still need two semesters of foreign language (unless
this is waived by their high school coursework).
The updated policy is below:
Seamless transfer is available to SUNY transfer students with associate
degrees or 60 credits transferred from another SUNY four-year college, prior to
matriculation. In addition, other transfer students with 60 hours, who
have completed at least 30 hours of SUNY-approved general education courses in
at least seven out of ten of the SUNY categories, including courses that
satisfy "Basic Communication" and "Mathematics," do not
need to take any additional general education courses at Geneseo.
All courses approved for other SUNY colleges to satisfy SUNY's general
education categories will transfer to SUNY Geneseo if the student earns a grade
of C- or better. Students receiving grades of D in general education courses at
other SUNY colleges may not transfer in credit but will satisfy the relevant
SUNY general education categories. Students who have not completed the
requirements for Seamless Transfer must complete SUNY Geneseo local general
education requirements, e.g., laboratory science and Humanities.
It is anticipated that this will start in the Fall 2021 semester.
Details will be forthcoming.
