Process for Students

Steps for Cortland students interested in registering for a course at another college:

1. Review the other college's website or their materials to determine the course offerings for a given semester.
2. Use the transfer equivalency charts to check the course equivalent. If the course is not on the charts, obtain and print out a course description.
3. Print out the Permission to Transfer Credit form and review the policies on the form regarding transfer of credit.
4. Make an appointment with your academic advisor at Cortland. Speak to him/her about your plans and how the course fits into your degree requirements/CAPP. Obtain your advisor's signature/approval on the permission form.
5. Drop-off the permission form at the Advisement and Transition Office, Memorial Library A-111, for final approval from the Transfer Credit Coordinator.
6. Pick-up your permission form within one week at the Advisement and Transition Office.  (If there are any questions or concerns, the Transfer Credit Coordinator will call/email you at the number/email address listed on the form.)
7. Register for the course at the other college.  It is your responsibility to research the registration process and policies at the other college.  
8. Once the course is complete, request an official transcript to be sent to Cortland's Registrar's Office (P.O. Box 2000, Cortland, NY 13045).

  *  Since time is required to seek signatures/approvals on the form, students are encouraged to plan ahead.
