Transfer Application Process at SUNY Plattsburgh

If you have not already done so, we invite you to visit.

Don't let facts and hearsay decide where you go to college. Visit the campus, experience the sights and sounds of Plattsburgh, and determine if we're the right fit for you.

To schedule an appointment, call the Admissions office at (888) 673-0012 or (518) 564-2040.

Tours are available during the academic year and in the summer. You can also schedule an interview with an Admissions Advisor as well as a departmental visit.

We invite you to apply online.

Visit our Financial Aid Office online for more information.

We'll evaluate your application based on:

• The courses you've already completed
• Your cumulative grade-point-average (GPA) calculated on all of the courses you've taken at other colleges

We recommend a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.3 for admission to the majority of majors at Plattsburgh State.

Be advised that a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for majors in:

• Education
• Communications Disorders & Sciences
• Nursing
• Social Work

Note: If you have completed fewer that two (2) full-time semesters at the time of your application, your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores are required for admission, in addition to your official college transcripts.

Your credit evaluation shows us how all of your prior course work is placed in your new degree track at SUNY Plattsburgh, and what additional coursework is needed for graduation.
