  12. What is Seamless Transfer? • Seamless Transfer is an attempt by SUNY to facilitate student transfer among SUNY institutions without loss of credit. • To do so, each Bachelor’s program will have a defined Transfer Path • Comprised of 60-64 CH of lower-division courses • Which can be taken at any SUNY institution • And including 30 CH of General Education

  13. What is Seamless Transfer? • Courses taken in the Transfer Path are guaranteed to transfer among SUNY institutions. • Students completing the full Transfer Path must be able to complete their Bachelor’s programs within two additional years • Bachelor’s programs may require no more 126 CH, unless a waiver is granted. • Transfer Paths equally to native as well as transfer students.

  17. How Do ESF Programs Fit with Seamless Transfer? • Tentative Transfer Paths, identifying Foundation Courses, have been created by SUNY faculty committees. • SUNY has tentatively assigned Transfer Paths to most of our programs. • In cases of singular degree programs, i.e., FRM, we can suggest a list of Foundation Courses. • Seamless Transfer Audits have been completed for all ESF Bachelor’s Degree Programs.

  18. How Do ESF Programs Fit with Seamless Transfer? • In some cases, good fits can be accomplished if reject the SUNY-assigned Transfer Path and create new ones. • Where the number of Foundation Courses is large, our programs can fit if Foundation Courses can be required as part of General Education.
