Non-CUNY College-level courses

Admitted students who have completed college-level coursework offered by an accredited institution may be considered for credit with grades of C or better. Official college transcripts must be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for proper evaluation and possible credit.

In order for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to evaluate your college courses, we strongly advise you to ask your college(s) to send a PDF of your transcript to:

Freshmen – freshmancreditevaluation@baruch.cuny.edu
Transfers – new.transfer@baruch.cuny.edu

Transcripts received from a college email account will be considered official. The sooner we get your transcript, the sooner we can evaluate it.

Credits for Prior Learning (CPL)

Admitted students will be awarded credit for the following standardized examinations. See below for information on the qualifying scores and the transfer credits awarded for prior learning.

In order for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to evaluate your prior learning credits, we strongly advise you to submit transcripts/score reports to:

Freshmen – freshmancreditevaluation@baruch.cuny.edu
Transfers – new.transfer@baruch.cuny.edu

Advanced Placement (AP)
