Relates to transferring credits from a CUNY community college to a New York state university
This bill (A 3693) requires New York State universities to accept all credits earned by students at CUNY community colleges, eliminating barriers to transfer. It directly affects CUNY community college students seeking to continue their education at state universities. The law mandates that CUNY curricula be designed for seamless credit transfer and requires state universities to collaborate with CUNY trustees to ensure credits are accepted or treated as equivalent to their courses. This creates a standardized process for credit recognition, making transfers more predictable and straightforward for students. The policy change takes effect 30 days after enactment.
