Transfer Credit Appeal

When you transfer to Brockport, you will receive a transcript evaluation as close to the time of admission as possible. We strive for a two to three week turn around, but please know it may take longer during busier times of the year. Once your evaluation is complete, you will be notified via email with steps on how to view your degree audit.

The transcript evaluation provided on your degree audit will show how your prior courses will be accepted and applied to your Brockport degree. If you do not agree with the evaluation of a certain course, please submit a Request for Transfer Credit form. The course in question will be reviewed by the appropriate department.

If 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 to Brockport’s campus transfer representative.

Brockport Local Appeal Process

The student filing the appeal begins the process by emailing this form and all appended documentation to the campus representative listed above. The student will receive confirmation that the email was received and Transfer Services will forward all necessary materials to the appropriate Associate Dean.
The Associate Dean will receive a copy of the syllabus from the Brockport course for which transfer credit is requested, if one has not already been provided.
The Associate Dean will consider all materials and decide to sustain or reject the appeal.
The student will be notified of the decision within 10m business days of submitting the appeal, or 15 business days when classes are not in session.

If the Associate Dean sustains the appeal

The appeal materials are returned to Transfer Services with the request that the student be given transfer equivalency credit as approved, and the appealing student’s degree audit will be adjusted to reflect the new articulation. The student will be notified, and, if the Associate Dean has ruled that the equivalency is applicable for all students, the campus transfer articulation tables will be changed to reflect the newly established course equivalency.

If the Associate Dean rejects the appeal

The student will be notified by the campus transfer representative, that their appeal has been rejected.
The student will inform the campus transfer representative in writing whether they accept the appeal decision, or they wish to appeal to the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

If the student wishes to continue the appeal

The Vice Provost’s Office will review the appeal documents; may consult with the department chairperson and the dean’s office; and make an independent determination on the matter within an additional five business days. If the Vice Provost supports the department’s judgment against the appeal, the student (and Transfer Services) will be notified in writing of this decision and no other action will be taken. The Vice Provost’s decision is the final level of campus review. The student will be informed of their further right of appeal to SUNY System Administration.

SUNY System Appeal Process

If you still do not agree with Brockport’s decision, or you have not received a response in 15 business days from submitting the appeal, you may take your appeal to the SUNY System Administration by submitting the Student Transfer Appeal Form along with the requested materials.

Submit the appeal form and other materials by emailing studentmobility@suny.edu. You may also use certified mail to send your request to:

Thomas Hanford, Ph.D.
Director of Transfer and Articulation Policy
Office of Student Success
SUNY System Administration
353 Broadway
Albany, NY 12207

SUNY representatives will respond to your appeal within five business days from receipt of the completed appeal application. If the decision finds merit to change the course to meet a major requirement, the receiving institution will be notified to take appropriate action.
