Have You Sent Your Final Transcript?

We hope that you enjoyed your Transition Seminar and are looking forward to your Cortland experience!

It is a good idea to review your transfer credit before the start of the fall semester.  Updates to your credit evaluation and CAPP may have occurred.  You can “generate a new evaluation” of CAPP from your “Student” tab in myRedDragon to view any updates.   You can also view your “Academic Transcript” in the “Registrar” box on your “Student” tab for a simplified list of transfer credit awarded. 

If you have not yet requested official transcripts to be sent to SUNY Cortland that reflect your spring 2012 grades, you should do so as soon as possible.    Transfer credit can impact not only your required courses but also your time-ticket to register for spring courses.  October 1 is the deadline to receive transcripts to affect time-tickets for spring registration.  Time-tickets (the specific time that you will be eligible to register for your spring courses) are issued based on total number of credits completed, including transfer credits.  Transfer credit will be posted after October 1, but the credit will not allow for an earlier registration time-ticket.    

Information on how to request transcripts can be found at:
