SUNY Transfer Paths
The State University of New York (SUNY) has implemented the Seamless Transfer Initiative to assist students,
who have obtained an A.A. or A.S. degree at Suffolk County Community College, to transfer to a SUNY four-
year institution with junior status.
Seamless transfer is achieved by completing 7 of the 10 SUNY General Education Requirements and
passing the required Transfer Path courses within the intended major with a minimum of a “C.”
Transfer Paths include lower division course requirements that are common to all SUNY campuses
with the similar major. Transfer Paths exist for many degrees at Suffolk County Community College. A list
of the existing Transfer Paths can be found at
www.suny.edu/attend/get-started/transfer-students/suny- transfer-pathsto determine the courses that should be completed before transferring to the SUNY four-year
institution.
