Final Transcripts and GE Waivers

As a new transfer student to Cortland, please take a moment and review the transfer credit and General Education waivers posted to your Curriculum Advising and Program Planning (CAPP) report.   You can view your CAPP via your myRedDragon account.  All transfer courses on your CAPP will appear with a grade of an orange “T” for “transfer,” and the total number of transfer credits posted will appear at the top of your CAPP.  

Transcripts

If you are missing credit, have you requested a final transcript from your previous institution that reflects your fall 2011 grades?  Have you requested AP, CLEP, and IB scores? 

Students who have earned transfer credit and have not yet requested official transcripts to be sent to SUNY Cortland should do so as soon as possible.    Transfer credit can impact not only your required courses but also your time-ticket to register for fall and summer courses.  March 1 is the upcoming deadline to receive transcripts to affect time-tickets for fall/summer 2012 registration.  Time-tickets are issued based on total number of credits completed, including transfer credits.  Transfer credit will be posted after March 1, but the credit will not impact time-tickets for registration. 

General Education Waivers

Transfer students may be granted up to three course waivers that can be applied toward meeting the general education requirements in Category 11, Category 12, and one of the course requirements in Category 13. Transfer students are eligible for waivers based on the number of transfer credit hours according to the following formula:

20-34.5 credit hours - eligible for one (1) waiver

35-49.5 credit hours - eligible for two (2) waivers

50 or more credit hours - eligible for three (3) waivers

You will know you earned a waiver if the course title reads “Cortland GE Waiver.”  If you earned 50 or more transfer credits, the three waivers should have been automatically applied and will be represented on your CAPP as “CGE 1XX.”

If you are eligible for a waiver or are simply unsure, make an appointment with your academic advisor to review your transfer credit and the GE Waiver form.   GE Waiver forms can be downloaded from the Advisement and Transition Web site (http://www2.cortland.edu/dotAsset/6dad9bff-6a0c-4510-bf35-f6305fb9fbc7.pdf).  Completed forms can be dropped off at the Advisement and Transition office, Memorial Library A-111, for processing.
