How Credits Transfer

CUNY College Credits

Admitted students who earned college credit through a CUNY college do not need to request an official transcript.

Please email the Undergraduate Admissions Office your request to have a credit evaluation. Include the following in your email: your name, CUNYfirst ID or date of birth, and CUNY college where the course(s) were taken.

Freshmen – freshmancreditevaluation@baruch.cuny.edu
Transfers – new.transfer@baruch.cuny.edu

We will retrieve your CUNY transcript and evaluate your college courses.

After your prior CUNY coursework has been evaluated, your CUNYfirst account will be updated with the transfer credit and you will be notified via email.

Non-CUNY College-level courses

Admitted students who have completed college-level coursework offered by an accredited institution may be considered for credit with grades of C or better. Official college transcripts must be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for proper evaluation and possible credit.

In order for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to evaluate your college courses, we strongly advise you to ask your college(s) to send a PDF of your transcript to:

Freshmen – freshmancreditevaluation@baruch.cuny.edu
Transfers – new.transfer@baruch.cuny.edu

Transcripts received from a college email account will be considered official. The sooner we get your transcript, the sooner we can evaluate it.

Credits for Prior Learning (CPL)

Admitted students will be awarded credit for the following standardized examinations. See below for information on the qualifying scores and the transfer credits awarded for prior learning.

In order for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to evaluate your prior learning credits, we strongly advise you to submit transcripts/score reports to:

Freshmen – freshmancreditevaluation@baruch.cuny.edu
Transfers – new.transfer@baruch.cuny.edu
