Steps to Apply

Step 1: Apply using the SUNY App or Common App

Complete your application online and pay the $50 application fee, or use the SUNY Fee Waiver Form.

Step 2: Submit Official Transcripts

Submit official, sealed transcripts from every college/university attended.

This is necessary regardless of the number of credits earned, even if the information appears on another institution’s transcript. Failure to report all previously attended colleges on the application will cause a delay in the application process. Please send official transcripts to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Step 3: Determine if the program you’re applying for has any additional requirements

Additional requirements based on major can be found here. Students with more than 54 transferrable college credits will be asked to indicate their major on their application.

Teacher certification is available at Brockport and must be coupled with a declared major in an approved content area. Please visit the Department of Education and Human Development’s website for a complete list of appropriate academic majors for education certification.

Step 4: Submit your official high school transcript (if you have less than 24 transferrable college credits)

Have your school counselor forward your official high school transcripts to our office:

Office of Undergraduate Admissions
SUNY Brockport
350 New Campus Drive
Brockport, NY 14420

Transfer FAQs

In order for transfer credit to be applied toward Brockport degree requirements official transcripts from all original sources must be sent to Undergraduate Admissions. A final official transcript shows all college courses completed at previous institutions and includes the listing of any degrees earned. It is the student’s responsibility to request final official transcripts from each college attended.

Either Undergraduate Admissions has not received some, or all, of your transcripts or Transfer Credit Services has not yet evaluated your transcripts. If we have all, or some of your transcripts, and you would like a degree audit generated, please contact Transfer Credit Services so we can prioritize and provide this important information. This applies to both accepted and deposited students.

Your degree audit will show how your transfer courses will be accepted and apply toward your degree requirements. If you feel that there is a transfer course(s) that should satisfy a major, minor, and/or general education requirement that is not currently satisfying one of these requirements, please submit a Notice of Award of Transfer Credit along with the course description and/or syllabus to the appropriate department. If your Notice of Award of Transfer Credit is denied and/or you do not agree with the department’s decision on the granting or placement of credit that you earned at a prior SUNY institution, you have the right to submit an appeal via the Transfer Credit Appeal Form.

You can transfer a maximum of 64 credits from any accredited two-year college. Therefore, although you may have completed more than 64 credits at your community college, as perhaps listed on your degree audit report, don’t forget that the degree audit will only apply 64 of your credits (those most useful) toward your Brockport degree. The maximum number of transfer credits that can be applied to your Brockport degree (a combination of two-year colleges and four-year colleges/non-college sources such as AP, IB, CLEP, etc) is 90 credits.
