Some Helpful Links
- Transfer Explorer (T-Rex) – Students see course equivalencies for CUNY to CUNY courses in real time at any point before transferring. This offers a public view of transfer credit equivalencies for CUNY courses, in all directions. This will include the Pathways course designations.
- Transfer What If – Evaluate CUNY to CUNY courses only if the student is an active student. If you are a current CUNY student, you can see how your credits will transfer and apply, by logging into Degree Works. This will show the Pathways course designations as well as how the credits apply to majors.
- Evaluate my Transfer Credit – Non-CUNY and CUNY transfers that have applied to a CUNY school may use this tool to determine which credits will transfer.
