Basics about Course Transfer

Transfer Basics

To transfer a math/stats course from outside 91社区, you need pre-approval from the department's Director of Undergraduate Studies. Not all courses can be transferred, so have the course reviewed before you take it. Please note that:

  • Online asynchronous courses are not approved for transfer.
  • Courses from non-US institutions are generally not approved unless they are part of a regular degree-granting curriculum (e.g., coursework completed while enrolled full-time at a foreign university) or an approved program affiliated with 91社区 (e.g., BU study-abroad). Standalone summer or winter courses abroad are not accepted.

How to Request Approval

  1. Fill out the Harpur College Transfer Credit Petition form and save it as a PDF (not an image or screenshot).
  2. Email the completed form to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Vladislav Kargin (vkargin@binghamton.edu), and include:
    • Current syllabus of the course
    • Website of the department/university offering it
    • When you plan to take the course
