Transfer Tip #1.
Connect with an Advisor
Reach out to an advisor at your potential college to ask what resources exist! Many CUNY colleges have peer mentor or ambassador programs, letting you speak directly to other transfer students.
Transfer Tip #2.
Self-Advocate!
If you have used the transfer tools to understand how your courses should transfer and you believe something transferred incorrectly, file an appeal.
Transfer Tip #3.
Track Your Financial Aid
Financial aid is available only for a limited number of semesters – federal Pell grants for 12 semesters and NY State TAP grants for eight. Carefully plan your courses to ensure you do not run out of aid!
