Transfer Guidance for Courses with Pass/Not Pass Grade Mode

SUNY Morrisville is committed to maximizing your transfer credits and will extend flexibility in our transfer credit policies on a case-by-case basis.

Transfer credit is guaranteed at all SUNY campuses if a SUNY general education (SUNY-GER) course is successfully completed with any passing grade, including a ‘P” in a Pass/Not Pass (P/NP) grading system.

A Passing grade counts as successful completion for the SUNY-GER area at any campus.

However, a P/NP grade may not satisfy requirements outside SUNY-GER and Pass/Not Pass grades earned from a non-SUNY institution may require that the student repeat the class to earn a specific grade, such as:

  • Programs that have a GPA requirement of a minimum course grade for courses in the major.
  • Courses require a minimum grade in order to progress to the next course in the sequence.
  • Academic programs that involve professional accreditation or certification that require specific letter grades.
  • Programmatic accreditation may have requirements regarding the maximum percentage of courses that may be graded pass/fail and/or the particular kinds of courses that may be graded pass/fail.

Transfer Scholarships

All transfer students are automatically considered for merit based Transfer Scholarships. Eligible students must have, or be on track to have, an associate degree with a grade point average of at least 3.0. Admission into a baccalaureate degree program is required.

Transfer students can also apply for additional SUNY Morrisville Foundation Scholarship by March 1 of each year. Visit our Scholarships & Awards page for more information.
