Eligibility

This process is for students who are newly accepted into a degree program or are currently matriculated in baccalaureate programs at Purchase College, SUNY, and who request a re-evaluation of transfer credits earned at a prior institution.

Who to Contact

Newly admitted students who have not yet begun their studies at Purchase and wish to pursue a transfer appeal should contact SUNY Transfer Liaison Beatriz Martin-Ruiz, Associate Director of Admissions, at Beatriz.martin-ruiz@purchase.edu for guidance.

Currently matriculated students who wish to pursue a transfer appeal should send an email to creditevaluator@purchase.edu indicating their request. If a request is not resolved through informal communication, the process outlined below is available.

Appeal at the Purchase College Campus Level

• You must submit an appeal request form, along with a Course Description and Syllabus of the course(s), to the Senior Credit Evaluator in the Office of the Registrar.
• Once the completed form with the documentation listed above has been received, you will receive an email response with a decision within ten business days (or 15 business days when school is not in session).

Appeal at the SUNY System Level

If you have not received a response from Purchase College within 15 days or are not satisfied with the decision, you can submit an appeal to the SUNY Provost for additional review.
