2 MAP- TRANSFER MANUAL Information about Transfer into New York’s Independent Colleges and Universities 2014 Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (cIcu) New York’s 100+ private not-for-profit colleges and universities www.nycolleges.org or www.cicu.org Map-2-Transfer Manual The Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (cIcu) cIcu is a statewide association representing the public policy interests of the chief executives of more than 100 independent colleges and universities in New York State, the largest private sector of higher education in the world. Although not a government agency, cIcu is an educational corporation formed under the New York State Regents. Its mission is to develop consensus among a diverse membership and to advance higher education public policy as the formal organizational liaison with the New York State Board of Regents, the State Commissioner of Education, and the chancellors of the State University (SUNY) and City University (CUNY); and with the proprietary sector. Since 1978, cIcu’s Outreach Programs have produced helpful resources and publications for students, parents, and schools about cIcu’s 100+ member private, not-for-profit colleges and universities, college admissions, and financial aid. Available free of charge, annual publications include: Your College Search and Affording College. These publications are distributed to New York State high school guidance/college counseling and principals’ offices, to school superintendents, to public libraries and to selected high schools in surrounding states. An extensive admissions and financial aid website, www.nycolleges.org, contains a growing library of downloadable college awareness resources as well as databases of information about New York's private, not-forprofit colleges and universities and degree offerings. Background on the Map2Transfer Manual The National Student Research Center’s recent report, Transfer and Mobility: A National Student Movement in Postsecondary Institutions (2012), highlighted the scope of the movement of students from one institution to another over the course of their academic career. They found that a third of all students transfer before earning a degree (p. 5).1 The size of the shifts is significant. The number of students who transfer in the fall, at the start of the academic year, has been estimated at more than one million with another smaller wave of students transferring at the start of the spring semester.2 A recent study, The Community College Route to the Bachelor’s Degree (2014), identifies three barriers to community college students’ quest for a bachelor’s degree: This “Map-2-Transfer” project was conceived to provide counselors and students with information to help them navigate the transfer process to an independent college or university. The project was funded with a federal College Access Challenge Grant (CACG) awarded to the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (cIcu) by the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), the state agency designated to administer the State’s CACG program since 2008. The goals and objectives of CACG include providing students and their families with information about college access to increase their participation in postsecondary education. This Map-2-Transfer Manual was made possible with support from cIcu member colleges and universities, which provided the data that figure in this resource. The Tips-2-Transfer section was written in collaboration with transfer experts from the New York State Transfer and Articulation Association (NYSTAA), a consortium of advisors and other professionals from public, independent and proprietary colleges and universities involved and interested in improving the college transfer process (www.nystaa.org). The cIcu Outreach staff wishes to extend a special thank you to the members of NYSTAA Ad Hoc Committee who contributed their time, expertise, and talents to assist in the development of this project’s Tips-2-Transfer brochure series: Alex Ott Aubrey Rakoski Bart Grachan Cathy Anderson Kandi Geibel Rebecca Mack and her colleagues at Monroe Community College Robin Graff Thomas D.

Certainly, students’ paths to transfer vary widely. A student who attends a community college may transfer after finishing an associate degree. Or, a student may start college, but stop for personal reasons and decide to return to complete the degree at a different college after several years. Other students may decide to complete their degree at a college or university other than the one where they began their studies. The purpose of this Manual, “Map-2-Transfer,” is to provide students from these different backgrounds guidance to help them navigate the transfer process and continue with their postsecondary education plans. The information in this Map-2-Transfer Manual is available online at www.nycolleges.org. For more information about college transfer, visit www.nystaa.org, www.nacacnet.org or www.collegetransfer.net.

How do I identify my career interests? Start at the end and ask yourself: Where do I want to end up, and how do I get there? Think about your interests and your skills, and how they can lead to different career paths. Visit Explore Careers at GoCollegeNY.org for online tools to match your interests with a career. Research academic majors by visiting a career counselor at your current college to help you explore your options. 2. How do I research transfer colleges/universities? Think about what is important to you: majors offered, GPA requirements, geographic location, size, cost, selectivity, athletics, housing, religious affiliation, and setting (urban, suburban, or rural). Search for colleges that meet those criteria. There are many online college search websites such as GoCollegeNY.org that will help. Be sure you take a look at course equivalencies, often found on an institution’s website, to determine how your earned college credit will transfer. Be sure to watch the deadlines for submission of all applications. 5. How do I begin the application process? Check the institution’s website for application procedures. Some academic programs (e.g., nursing, teacher education, social work) require a separate application in addition to the general application. Many universities/colleges prefer you apply online. College applications are often found on the college’s Admissions page in a link such as ‘Apply Now.’ Always pay attention to the deadlines! 6. Which transcripts do I need to send? Request your official transcripts from your current college and ALL other colleges attended, and from your high school, if required by the college. Keep track of who you submitted the transcript request to, when the request was made, and the mailing address you indicated on the request. Questions to Ask Your Transfer Counselor Check with the Transfer Counselor at the institution to which you are applying to be sure that you meet all admission requirements and deadlines. Ask: What courses and credits will be accepted for transfer credit and what are their course equivalencies? How will the transferred courses and requirements enable me to earn the degree I am seeking? Helpful Websites: www.nycolleges.org www.GoCollegeNY.org www.hesc.ny.gov www.collegeboard.org www.collegetransfer.net iii It is very important to understand how your current college/university credits will transfer into the specific degree that you’re interested in at the transfer college. Tips-2-Transfer for Adult/ Returning-to-College Transfers 7. How do I apply for financial aid? Contact each college’s financial aid office to ensure you complete all paperwork required to be considered for all types of financial aid. Visit studentaid.ed.gov to learn about federal money for higher education. Visit hesc.ny.gov for information about New York State aid programs. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Do not wait to be accepted before applying for financial aid! Include all universities/colleges you are considering on your FAFSA. Additional colleges can be added to your FAFSA at a later date. If you are a New York State resident applying to a college in New York State, apply for TAP online at: www.tap.hesc.ny.gov Watch the deadlines for submission of all financial aid applications. 8. How do I check the status of my application? Call the college/university or go online to check the status of your application. Keep in contact with the Admissions staff at the colleges/universities you are applying to throughout the process. Ensure your contact information (telephone number, email address, and mailing address) is current. The university/college you are transferring to will make the final decision about how and if your previous college credits or credit for life experience will transfer. iv It’s never too late to get back to college to finish your studies! There are many options for adult or returning students for either full-time or part-time study. Read on to learn some of the important steps to take to transition to a new university/college and request transfer of previously-earned credits. Q&A Transfer Answers for Adult or Returning-to-College Transfers 1. Why do colleges differentiate between traditional and adult or returning-to-college transfer students? Many universities and colleges have unique programs specifically for adult/nontraditional students. For example, the institution may have an Adult Division that only admits students older than age 21. Frequently, classes are offered at times that are more convenient to students who have other day-time or work-week obligations (for example, in the evening or weekends). An additional distinction is that adult students are often defined as independent students for financial aid eligibility. 2. Am I able to take one class or do I have to go full time (12-15 credits)? When you register for classes, you have the option to fully matriculate, which means you are seeking a degree such as a bachelor’s, or to register as a non-matriculated student, meaning you are taking courses without the goal of obtaining a degree. As a matriculated, full-time student you may have access to financial aid, scholarships and grants. A matriculated part-time student has fewer financial aid options, but may still be eligible for certain programs. Be sure to check with the college’s financial aid office. 3. I know that I want to enroll at a certain college; where do I begin? Research the program at the college/university you are most interested in attending. Schedule a campus visit to go on a tour and meet with an admissions representative. Tips-2-Transfer If you can’t visit, or are more comfortable speaking with a counselor over the phone or via email, be sure that you have done your research in advance and prepare your questions carefully. 4. How can I afford a college or university? Find out the institution’s costs and what the average financial aid package is for adult/returning-to-college students. Also ask what percentage of students receives financial aid, what scholarships or grants are offered at the college, and the qualifications needed to be awarded aid. Always be realistic about your finances. Do not wait to be accepted before filing for financial aid! Check with the college to determine which forms you need to file and when you need to file them to be considered for all types of aid. Be sure to complete and submit all applications for aid and scholarships by the specified deadlines. 5. What are my housing options? Contact the campus Residential Life Office to inquire about housing for adult students. If you have a family and will require campus housing, be sure to ask if family housing is available. Most colleges will be able to provide information about off-campus apartments or, at a minimum, recommend a local realtor. 6. I need childcare; where can I get help? Some institutions offer on-site childcare. There are often certain requirements you must meet to be eligible for this service. 7. How will I know what courses will transfer? Take a look at Course Equivalencies often found on a college or university’s website. The university or college you are transferring to will make the final decision about how and if your college credits or credit for life experience will transfer. Talk with a Transfer Counselor at the institution you will be attending to discuss your Transfer Credit Evaluation. 8. How do I begin the application process? Check the college’s website for application procedures. Some academic programs (e.g., nursing, teacher education, social work) often require a separate application in addition to the general application. Most universities/colleges prefer you apply online. College applications are often found on the college’s Admissions page in a link such as ‘Apply Now.’ Watch the deadlines! 9. Which transcripts do I need to send? There are three types of transcripts – high school, college, and for U.S. Armed Service Veterans, military transcripts. Request your official transcripts from ALL the colleges you have attended and from your high school, if required by the college. For veterans, contact your military branch to obtain your military transcript. Tips-2-Transfer for Veterans and Active Duty Service Members If you are a veteran or currently in the military, there are many opportunities to help you continue your college education. In addition, military veterans may be eligible for academic credit for certain educational experiences or military course credit. Many campuses have dedicated counselors and advisors to help military and veteran students transfer and transition to campus. Read on to learn the important steps to transfer. Q&A Transfer Answers for Veteran and Military Students 1. How do I identify my career interests? Start at the end and ask yourself: Where do I want to end up, and how do I get there? Think about your interests and your skills, including those learned in the military, and how they can lead to different career paths. 2. How do I research transfer colleges? Think about what is important to you: majors offered, geographic location, size, cost, selectivity, athletics, housing, religious affiliation and setting (urban, suburban, or rural). Search for colleges that meet those criteria. When researching, take notes on important information such as GPA requirements, application deadlines, transfer contact person, guaranteed housing, and scholarship information. It is very important to understand how your college and military credits will transfer into the specific degree that you’re interested in at the transfer college. Ask if any of your military training will be used as college credits, and if so, how. The majority of institutions use the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations on applying specific military courses and training as credit toward a college degree, but how and when they are applied may be determined by the academic program you’re pursuing. Ask if the college offers support for military students – and what kind of support. v 3. What steps can I take to help me make my final college choices? Talk with your academic advisor or contact a Transfer Counselor at your college if you’re currently attending a community college or other 2-year institution. There are many online college search websites such as GoCollegeNY.org. Visit campuses if possible. You want to get a feel for the personality of the college to determine if it is a good fit for you. Always contact an admissions representative at the university or college you’re interested in attending. Inquire about potential scholarships, housing, financial aid, and other important concerns. 4. What courses should I be taking now and how will I know what credits will transfer? Discuss your transfer plans with a Transfer Counselor or Education Services Officer at your current college – they can help guide you. Concentrate on the pre-requisites you’ll need to be admitted into your chosen academic major. If you’re just starting out and unsure of your final major, focus on taking general education/core requirements (for example, history, humanities, foreign language, etc.), not the major courses themselves. Note that many institutions have very specific criteria for the transfer of major courses. Review Course Equivalencies often found on the 4-year colleges and universities’ websites. Remember that the college or university you are considering transferring to is your best resource to ensure your transfer planning is on the right track. They will make the final decision about how and if your credits will transfer. 5. How do I begin the application process? Check the college’s website for applications. Some academic programs (e.g., nursing, teacher education, social work) require a separate application in addition to the general application. Most institutions prefer you apply online. Applications are often found on the institution’s Admissions page in a link such as ‘Apply Now.’ Always pay attention to the deadlines! vi 6. Which transcripts do I need to send? Request your official transcripts from ALL colleges attended and from your high school, if required by the college. Active and Veteran members of the U.S. Armed Forces should also submit their personal military transcripts for possible credit. Links to obtain transcripts for each branch of service can be found on the American Council on Education website (www.acenet.edu). Keep track of who you submitted the request to and when requests were made. 7. How do I apply for financial aid? Contact each college’s financial aid office to ensure you completed all forms required to be considered for all types of financial aid. Do not wait to be accepted before applying for financial aid! To learn more about aid for college, visit http://studentaid.ed.gov/types/grants-scholarships/military For New York State residents attending an approved college in the state, learn more about Veteran Tuition Awards at www.hesc.ny.gov. Search for “Veterans.” Apply for your VA benefits at www.ebenefits.va.gov. Fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Include all universities and colleges you are considering on your FAFSA. Additional colleges can be added to your FAFSA at a later date. Watch the deadlines! As a Veteran or Active Duty Service Member, you may be entitled to benefits from the Post-9/11 GI Bill or the pre-existing Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB). Many colleges also participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program as an additional grant to service members and eligible beneficiaries. Note that not every veteran is eligible to receive these benefits, and not all institutions are Yellow Ribbon participants, so be sure to ask. Also discuss with your military advisors which benefits package is best for you. Visit www.veterans.ny.gov for more information. These programs have limits in both funds and duration, so applying for additional aid (e.g., scholarships, grants) may be important, as will the number of transfer credits you receive toward the intended degree since this will help determine how long it will take to earn your degree. 8. How do I check the status of my application? Keep in contact with the Admissions staff at the universities and colleges you are applying to throughout the process. Ensure your contact information (telephone number, email address, and mailing address) is current. Check on the status of your military transcripts – see page vii for contact information. Collect your Military paperwork and information.
