PREVIOUS COLLEGE WORK

In general, transfer credit is granted when courses are applicable to the curriculum for which the student is applying, the course grade is a minimum of C or better, and the course was taken by the student in the past seven (7) years. Transfer credit will not be included in the student's Morrisville State College grade point average, but may change the GPA if the course is substituted for a Morrisville course. Transfer credit will not contribute toward a student's residency requirement.

Morrisville State College also has a variety of articulation agreements with area community colleges, many of which guarantee enrollment at Morrisville with full Junior status.
