What is the SUNY Transfer Guarantee Program?
SUNY students graduating with an A.A. or A.S. degree who wish to transfer directly to a four-year SUNY campus are guaranteed an opportunity to continue full-time study. This guarantee goes into effect if you applied prior to the application deadline and are denied admission at all of your four-year college choices.

PLEASE NOTE: Although the program guarantees admission to a four-year college, it does not assure a specific campus or curriculum
