SUNY Schenectady County Community College Establishes New Agreement with University at Albany

SUNY Schenectady County Community College and the University at Albany will sign a transfer agreement, providing the maximum number of transfer credits as applied to 46 degree programs at the University at Albany. SUNY SCCC students who complete the program as outlined will be awarded full transfer credit and afforded the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree in just four additional semesters of study at the University at Albany. The agreement will go into effect on June 19, 2017, and is applicable to the SUNY SCCC Class of 2017, and beyond.

“Academic programs at SUNY Schenectady County Community College provide strong preparation for and ready access to baccalaureate programs at the University at Albany,” said Dr. James R. Stellar, Interim President, of the University at Albany. “We strongly believe that many students in a two-year program of study at SUNY Schenectady County Community College will benefit from the information, guidance and transfer course equivalencies this agreement provides.”

“At SUNY SCCC, we’re focused on creating excellent academics and financially-smart opportunities for our students,” said Dr. Steady H. Moono, President of SUNY SCCC. “We’re thrilled to partner with the University at Albany to give our students yet another leg up as they pursue higher education, and a means for building their dreams and careers.”

The transfer agreement signing will take place on Monday, June 19 at 1 p.m. at SUNY Schenectady Community College in the President’s Office Terrace, Elston Hall.
