Transferring To SJC Brooklyn

Transferring To SJC Brooklyn

The St. Joseph’s College community is eager to welcome transfer students to SJC Brooklyn.

The traditional four-year nursing program has reached capacity and is no longer accepting new applications for the Fall 2021. All in progress applications for fall 2021 will be evaluated and considered for a place on the program’s waiting list. Students who have been admitted, but have not deposited by the deadline stated in their letter of admission will be considered on a space-available basis.

Take advantage of the opportunity to get an exemplary education on our safe and secure campus, which closely follows New York State Department of Health guidelines. We are looking forward to having you join our community and benefit from our top-notch return-to-campus plans.

We’re here to assist you at each step and provide a seamless a stress-free transition. Our transfer admissions counselors are available to meet with you to discuss academic programs of interest, review the application process and provide preliminary information on transfer credits from previous institutions.

Transfer Credits

We encourage you to take advantage of our Online Transfer Evaluation System, where you can easily access preliminary information about how your courses will transfer to SJC Brooklyn.

If you do not see your institution or a particular class — don’t worry! The Office of Admissions regularly evaluates new courses, so please feel free to email us your courses. We will be happy to evaluate them and add the new equivalencies to our Online Transfer Evaluation System.

Transfer Credit Policy

SJC Brooklyn will accept up to 64 credits from a regionally accredited two-year school and up to 90 credits from a regionally accredited four-year school. The total of credits accepted from both a regionally accredited two-year and four-year school combined cannot exceed 90 credits. SJC will accept comparable courses in which a grade of C- or higher was earned. Grades indicating "Pass" (P) will also considered for courses completed during the Spring or Summer of 2020. However, some courses may require a higher grade in order to satisfy certain major requirements.

Students who transfer to one of SJC’s professional studies programs may be eligible to receive additional transfer credit and may also be considered for prior experiential learning credit.

*Certain majors may require a minimum of 32 credits be completed at St. Joseph’s College.
