The Office of Admissions will review applicants based on the Admissions Requirements and the Department Specific Requirements as listed on the departments Resource Page.

The courses that will be applicable in the review process will be ones that are listed on the resource page. Please see the link below for a list of our program resource pages:

SUNY Orange Health Profession Application and Information

Transfer students will have their letter grade(s) from the appropriate courses and attended colleges considered when evaluating the program GPA.

For example, if a student received a "C" in English 101 from another school, this would be calculated in the program GPA. Once the counselor has calculated the program GPA, the Program GPA is multiplied by 3.

Transfer Credit Database

 

Students who have competed college level coursework at other institution(s) must submit all official college transcripts to the Office of Admission prior to the application deadline. The admissions office will review each transcript individuals to find the relevant coursework completed as detailed on the program Resource Page.

For the Health Professions Review process, only coursework directly applicable to the students intended course of study is recalculated in the review process. The student must have received a grade of "C" or higher, and no clinical coursework can be transferred in.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The fact that a course appears in this list is no guarantee that the course will transfer in your individual case. Additionally, some courses may not appear on this list, but may be eligible for transfer.

This guide is subject to frequent revision. The catalog dates for each institution reflect the latest revision date for transfer equivalencies from that school. The Registrar's office adds schools and additional courses to the list on a regular basis.

Please also keep in mind that most of the Health Professions programs require specific coursework to have been completed within the last 5 or 10 years of the application deadline as detailed on the Resource Page, so a completed course outside of that specific time frame may not be considered in the review process.
