Transfer Applicants
A Transfer student is defined as a student who has enrolled in any post secondary coursework following graduation from high school.

The SUNY College at Oneonta strives to enroll an intellectually talented and culturally diverse student body. Students who begin their studies at Oneonta as transfers comprise approximately 40% of our full time enrollment. Transfer students select Oneonta as their college of first choice because we provide a wide variety of high-quality academic programs in a safe, caring environment enhanced by the beauty of its natural surroundings. The faculty of the college is dedicated to excellence in teaching and to guiding the growth of the individual student's intellect and character. The College supports and encourages a diverse learning community and provides leadership in volunteer and community service.
