Transfer Credit Appeal Process

This process is to be used by any student who wishes to appeal the decision of the campus to deny transfer credit for a particular course.

Transfer Credit Appeal ProcessA student with transfer credit must submit an official academic transcript directly from the registrar's office of the granting institution to the registrar's office at Alfred State College.

The registrar's office, after consulting with involved academic departments (if needed), and applying all appropriate academic regulations, will complete and process a transfer credit evaluation.

The registrar's office notifies the student of accepted transfer credit and provides the student a copy of the appeal process and the website from which an appeal application can be obtained. Transfer credit results are also communicated to the student's academic department chair and advisor.

A student wishing to challenge course credits not transferred must complete the Transfer Credit Appeal form found on the website and submit it to their academic department chair for reconsideration. The department chair gives the student a signed and dated copy of the appeal form, thus acknowledging receipt of the appeal and establishing day 1 of the review process.

Within five days of receipt of the appeal, the department chair will notify the student of the results of their review. Any changes will be communicated to the registrar's office for official processing.

A student dissatisfied with the results of the appeal at the department level may submit their appeal form and department notification to their academic dean for a final campus review. The dean provides dated acknowlegement of receipt of the appeal to the student.

Within five days of receipt of the appeal, the dean will notify the student of the results of their review. Any changes will be communicated to the registrar's office for official processing.

Upon making a determination denying the appeal, the dean will provide the student with information and the necessary documents for appealing to the SUNY Provost Office should they decide to pursue the issue further.
