Transfer Student
Overview
You are considered a transfer applicant if you have previously attended any college, university, and/or proprietary school since graduating from high school or secondary school. This applies whether or not you are seeking transfer credit. You are also considered a transfer applicant if you are applying for the following status:
Second Degree Student: Students who have already completed a
bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and who seek admission to
complete additional undergraduate study.
Non-Degree to Degree Student: Students who are currently enrolled at Hunter under Non-Degree status and are wishing to achieve matriculated status.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I find out what courses have transferred from my previous college?
The Admissions Office will automatically evaluate your college transcripts once you have informed them that you plan on attending.
Transfer Students from outside CUNY
- Students with a 3 credit college-level English course with a grade of 'C' or better from an accredited college or university are considered proficient in reading and writing.
- Students with a 3 credit college-level math course with a grade of 'C' or better from an accredited college or university are considered proficient in math at all colleges.
- Transfer applicants to associate programs who are not proficient based on the SAT, ACT, NYS Regents exams, or prior English or math courses must take the appropriate CUNY Assessment Tests. These applicants do not have to demonstrate proficiency to be admitted.
Transfers from a CUNY college
All students who wish to transfer from a CUNY associate program to a CUNY bachelor's program must meet the college's proficiency requirement in reading, writing, and mathematics to be admitted.
How can I receive a copy of my Hunter transcript?
You can request a copy of your transcript online here, or you can go in person to OASIS, located in the North Building, Room 217.
Will there be a Transfer Student Orientation
and Advisement session I should attend before attending classes?
New transfer students are advised at orientation and we expect all new
students to attend an orientation program. Once an accepted transfer
student commits to enrolling and pays their tuition deposit on their My Choice
page, and
they receive their transfer credit evaluation they will be invited by the
Office of Advising Services to select a transfer orientation. Most
transfer orientation dates are scheduled in advance of the new transfer student
registration period in the Fall and Spring semesters. The invitation to
attend an orientation will be extended through their My Choice page.
What is the average class size?
Class size at Hunter varies. We have classes in various sized lecture halls, which hold between 50-150 students. Our regular sized classrooms can hold as many as 20-40 students.
