Incoming Transfers – “Know B4U Go”

Access your transfer credit evaluation on CUNYfirst. Be sure to review your transfer credit evaluation before your advising session. Inform your advisor of any in-progress Fall 2026 coursework, as well as any courses or tests taken during high school (Advanced Placement, CUNY College Now, etc.).  

Transfer Explorer (T-Rex) is the source for the most up-to-date information about how CUNY colleges transfer and apply credit for both CUNY and non-CUNY courses, as well as for other learning experiences, like exams and certifications. Whether you are planning to transfer within CUNY or simply to take a course at another CUNY college, make T-Rex your go-to resource.

T-Rex is intuitive and super easy to use, and allows you to do three key things:

• Compare how one or multiple CUNY colleges transfer and apply credit for the same course or learning experience.
• Identify how courses taken at one CUNY college satisfy program requirements in specific majors and minors at one or multiple CUNY colleges.
• Compare how your CUNY courses, completed or in process, transfer to another CUNY college – if you are or have ever been a CUNY student.

Already have a degree?

Your general education requirements at Queens College will be determined by the type of associate degree (AA, AS, AAS, AGS, or AOS) that you earned or expect to earn at the end of the Fall 2026 semester.

If not, are you eligible for a Reverse Transfer?

What is Reverse Transfer? A student who has transferred to a baccalaureate institution from a community college without first earning an associate degree might still be able to earn that associate degree. With Reverse Transfer, credits earned at the baccalaureate institution that meet and complete the academic credentials of the associate degree are “transferred back” from the four-year institution to the two-year institution.

It is a CUNY Opt-In Policy in which an associate’s degree transfer student affirms interest in having their record reviewed and considered to obtain their Associate’s Degree. The Associate Degree Completion is available on the student’s CUNYFirst TO DO LIST. For detailed information and your first step to confirm eligibility click here.

For more information about Reverse Transfer, please email Reversetransfer@qc.cuny.edu.

File Completion

Having all of your official transcripts and score reports demonstrating Prior Learning in your admissions file is very important. Be sure to submit all original and final (non-CUNY) transcripts electronically to the Undergraduate Admissions Office (UA) via email to transcript@qc.cuny.edu.

AP, International Baccalaureate and CLEP scores should be sent via College Board to University Application Processing Center.  (UAPC)

Please note: Undergraduate Admissions cannot award any college credit unless official transcripts and score reports are on file.

Helpful guideline: If you were still enrolled in classes when you submitted your CUNY or Common Application, be sure to send your final official transcripts as soon as they become available. The transcript initially used for admission may not include your final semester’s courses, credits, and grades.  

For comprehensive information on transferring credits through Standardized Exams, Industry Credentials, Portfolio Assessment, DSST Credit by Examination Program and Military Training and Occupations please see the Queens College Admissions – Credit for Prior Learning website. 

Use CUNY Transfer Explorer (T-Rex) to see how your scores will transfer:

• Set Queens College as the Transferring To institution
• Select Trainings and Exams
• Select which test(s) you have completed from the Training and Exams drop-down menu.

Please contact admissions@qc.cuny.edu with any questions.

Note: It is important that you provide academic advisors with this information during your Transfer Session so that they can help to determine how much and what type of credit you may be awarded by the Admissions Office. Advisors who have this information can advise you against taking duplicative courses and thereby losing credit.
