Campus Transfer Appeal Process

The campus transfer appeal process is designed to facilitate the seamless transfer between SUNY campuses for courses normally taught in the first and second year at 4-year institutions. The scope and intent of the campus course appeal process is set out in the 2008 UFS-FCCC Joint Resolution:

"a standing committee be formed, known as the Transfer Review Committee, which will resolve the transfer status of first- and second-year courses generally offered at four-year institutions and make final recommendations, in consultation with disciplinary groups, to the Provost on the system wide transferability of a course."

Colleges seeking to submit a course for consideration by the Transfer Review Committee (TRC) should complete and submit the Campus Appeal Form along with supporting materials. Submissions will be via email as indicated on the form.

The campus referenced in the appeal will be given the opportunity to respond, indicating to the TRC why it does not accept the course being appealed.

As needed, the TRC will consult with appropriate faculty in the discipline involved and make a recommendation on transferability. This recommendation will be communicated to the SUNY Provost along with its rationale.

The SUNY Provost will arrive at a final decision and communicate it to the chief academic officers of the campuses involved.
