Transfer students from two-year or four-year colleges or
those with an associate degree,
can receive credit for courses
taken at previous schools, which
allow for individualized progression
through the B.S. Program.
Transfer Credit
If a transfer applicant is admitted
to New York University, his or
her records are examined carefully
to determine how much, if any,
transfer credit will be granted.
There are no prerequisites required
for admission for college transfer
students. New York University
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
will evaluate an applicant’s
transcript(s) and grant transfer
credit for courses that meet
the College of Nursing's liberal
arts, science and prerequisite
course requirements. College
transfer students follow the
same course progression as incoming
freshmen students.
Grades of C or better (no credit is awarded for grades of C-) must have been earned in transfer courses in order to be applied toward B.S. degree requirements. In those institutions where a grade of C is the lowest passing grade, then one full grade above the lowest passing mark, a grade of B, may be considered transferable.
The maximum number of transfer credits granted to students transferring from a two-year college shall not exceed the minimum number of credits required
for his or her associate degree; in any case, this shall not exceed 72 credits. Transfer students from four-year colleges can receive approximately 96 credits. A tentative statement of transfer credit is provided to each student upon notification of admission to the College of Nursing. The applicant will be notified on the tentative transfer statement if additional transcripts are required. A final statement of transfer credit is provided during the student's first semester of matriculation.
